Unfertalized Eggs!!!!

Okay, My baby is about 3 years old now (some people on here questioned if she was truly female, because she displayed male characteristics.)
Anyways, That question is answered.

Anyways, I got 2 eggs lying in the cage. Obviously not fertalized, Unless that one time she escaped, she got out of the house, found another snake, and then got back in the house, which I doubt.
Anyways, She has Eggs. curled up with them. what should I do... just take them, and toss them? She seems a little protective of them.
Second question.
She has been refusing food for a few months.
I assume because of the eggs.
Would it be alright to feed her again, Should I wait a little bit...
I mean, I have no issues with wasting a mouse, But, Im wondering, If I can avoid it , its better, and Maybe I should try with a half size feeding (I have hoppers for such occasions.
Should I wait a couple days...

Anyways please help.
Dunno what to do! First tim dealing with this.
 
I can help because I just went through the same thing! You can feed her a hopper right now if she will take it. If not, she will leave her eggs and go blue in a couple of days and you can take the eggs then and feed her after she has shed.
 
awesome. Yea
Took your advice, Kinda. I took her out of the cage and removed the eggs. She was being a little protective of them.... but I figured, it was not healthy to leave them in there. It just caught me by surprise.
And Then fed her a hopper mouse. That will be her food for a couple days... I just wanna get her digestive tract back in working order as she hasnt eaten in months. After ... probably 4 days, Ill give her something a bit more substantial for food.
I dont know If shell go blue, she literally just shed last week. I thought that would be the end, but then refused food again.
So This is why, maybe Shell shed again... doubtful though. anyways... she at least had a small meal and I feel better.
 
From what I've been told they will shed before and after they lay, regardless of anything else. I would wait until she sheds before feeding anything else. I've heard from more than one breeder to feed after laying even if they're blue, but you fed her once and I wouldn't rush a second feeding, personally.
 
Yea, Thanks, Then Ill probably wait to see if she turns blue, Then I usually do end up waiting until after she sheds.
Im really surprised she layed eggs though.
I guess she is looking a bit darker...
