they lay dead eggs called "slugs" sometimes.

if theyv'e been in with a male before you had them, if they were inseminated they can hold sperm inside them for years.

but like lee said, they can retain sperm for... er.. later use!

so if she has been kept with a male before then there is a possibility of fertile, viable eggs being laid
