my corn snake layed 4 eggs yesterday, and still has another inside. the only problem is, she won't let it out. i can see the white part of the egg. she's been like that all night. is this normal, or should i seek profesional help?

Clutches are usually layed over the course of about 24 hours. If this single egg has not made progress for 12 hours or more then I would be concerned. In the event that you cannot contact a competent reptile vet promptly then piercing the visible part of the egg enough that the contents drain (externally to her body) will help her pass it. You will be sacrificing the egg, obviously but it may save your female.

Corn Snakes Generaly take 31 to 45 days after mating to hatch.
