I have a female cockatiel thats laid a few clutches of eggs. Crossed fingers,not for a while now. 
Its got me thinking about the same issue in corn snakes.
Has anyone has personal experience of this with a corn?
I know it does happen,but I'm wondering whether its a common occurance or not and whether theres any ways to quell the desire to lay?

Female corns have been known and will produce unfertile eggs quite literally if they want to.
These are known as 'slugs'.
There's a fair bit of info on the intertubes and on this forum about them, just do a search for SLUGS in the search bar on the top right.
As for trying to stop them unfortunately there is no way to stop them doing it. |

i think that any animal that lays eggs can do this, i think that its just 1 of those things, i think that in the wild, they would lay "duds" to confuse predators, maybe this is what she needs to do, i dont know, but its an idea though and as long as she doesnt become bound, i think that it should be fine |

Just to clarify,I mean females that haven't mated laying eggs. Anyone had experience of this then? |
