Hey guys,

recently i have bought 3 corn snakes from a local pet shop. they said they were 3 healthy boys.... turns out they lied! and one of them died 2 days after we got them home! and i have a heavily pregnant female..... i have done a lot of research about it and i have everything set up for eggs.... thing is yesterday she had her pre-natal shed and just after she laid 4 infertile eggs! abd a few days b4 that she laid a couple of odd looking yellow things. is she egg bound?... i read on a different forum that if this happens (the laying of eggs on day of prenatal shed) that you can test by putting in the male and see if they mate... i did and they didnt! should i wait the 7-14 days for her to have fertile eggs or should i just get her to the vet?

They don't look right to me. what do you think?
everytime i have been to the pet shop the boss is never there! i am going back tomorrow. they said the boy was 2 and the girl was 3 or 4. but i dont know if they are telling the truth or not! the boy is around 5 ft and the girl is around 5"5. she seems to be nesting still and she still looks proper fat! i have separated them so he does not stress her out.
