checked in on mortica today and the moss was bone dry so lifted her out to moisten the moss and she has a lump bigger than a chicken egg right by her vent and when i put her in the viv while i done the moss took her a few mins to righten herself as she was upside down,she then had a big drink and shes back in the nest now.I have rang the vets but shes fully booked today with operatios and appointments and then away on a course for the rest of the week,what do i do,hopefuly she will pass them today/tonight

Thats not great news mate! My advice would be leave her be, try and not stress her anymore then what she is. Let us know how she gets on.

I would imagine that losing her wouldn't be that likely, If there's any issues I'd imagine that a vet would do something for the eggs and you'd have a (much) lighter wallet but still a good snake.
Was it Matty that had a similar issue last year with his corn? His corn is still going strong.

Hard not to worry though.
