Difficulty passing slugs; When do I go to a vet?

[d_virginiana]

So I went in to check on everyone today, and Harley was passing slugs. I'm a little surprised since she passed one a couple weeks ago. But so far she's passed like six or seven, and there are at least two left. It's been over six hours... She's still making progress (usually a new slug whenever I go check) but it's going very slowly. It just seems like it's taking way longer than it should and she's struggling. How much of this is due to her young age (2 years)?
More importantly, when do I take her to a vet? I don't want to stress her out any more if things are going to be fine, but there's an all-night clinic if necessary.

I don't think it's time to panic. If you see progress I'd let she do her thing.

She started having trouble, so we took her to the vet. She got some reptile-specific subcutaneous fluids as well as a shot of oxytocin. She seems to feel better at least.

Glad she's getting some help.

The vet said that with slugs it isn't too strange to have them spread out over a span of a day or two, so I feel better now... I figured since I've never dealt with this before it'd be better to get help too soon than accidentally wait too late.

I just had a girl take a week to pass them. No biggie except one got stuck and is still there a month later. Now she's gone off food and will probably die of septicemia.

There's one species of snake (Brahminy Blind Snake) that reproduces only through parthenogenesis. Every individual of the species is female and genetically identical to one another.

That sucks We have another appointment with the exotics vet for Friday if she hasn't passed the rest of them by then. I doubt we'll have to go to that one though, as she's still making progress passing them and only seems to have a couple left.

The female radix that I got last year threw slugs over a period lasting at least 6-8 weeks. And this year she's thrown a couple of odd slugs that were a couple of weeks apart.

The first one Harley had was about two weeks ago, but I actually thought that was going to be it. This time it's been several days, and she's been regularly passing clear fluid and the occasional slug the whole time. Her vet appointment is tomorrow... The vet recommended I bring her back in by Friday if she still hadn't passed the remaining two.

Why would she be having slugs if she hasn't been bred?
