How long ago did you get her? Because they look ilke good eggs. Nice and fat and round. If they are slugs, then they're near perfect. There's a couple that look a bit off, but the rest look good.
With my snakes in the past, I just lifted the female up, then moved the eggs. But all snakes are different, so caution will still be required. |

Are you sure she'd never been co-habited before you got her? It's alot of eggs to have a slugs and they look really healthy. The bloke at my rep shop told me Corn snake can keep sperm inside them for years then 'use it' when theyre ready so if she mated before you got her they may proper eggs. |

it is normal for snakes to produce "eggs" before they actuall mate. it's kinda like practice |

sorry PA i've NEVER heard that before!
most of them look viable at first glance. if she has been with a male at all they can store sperm to be 'used' ata a later date though |
