Did anyone else see Exotic Vet episode last night? There was an egg-bound sulcata that required surgery to remove eggs.. Most of the eggs had somehow migrated up into her ureter, a few others were in the Fallopian tube area (not sure, just in the wrong place). The shells were extremely hard and the eggs were rotting. Tort required blood transfusion (the vet owns a male sulcata who was the donor). They cut through her plastron and I must admit, I wasn't able to see the end of the program to know how the tort did post-op.
Other than being an eye opener, I have to wonder if I need to worry about RV... there was no mention of the tort having been in an area with a male tort, and RV is a single tort living the single life (and tromping the yard. reminds me I need to cut some cactus pads for her).
