Thanks. That seems to be what many say. But surely, someone has an idea about how often this happens with any particular cornsnake? And then, once it does happen, how likely is it to happen again and with what frequency?

Also, follow-ups:

1. since she hasn't eaten for nearly 4 weeks (offerred mouse 2x a week after 1st week since last feed), how long should I wait now to attempt feeding again?

2. can anyone explain what I saw with the shed? That she went pale, cleared up (seemingly without shedding), then after a couple days apparently laid the eggs and then shed?
The yellow color is a good indicator that they're infertile, but not always. Fertile eggs will be more off white.

I agree that you can feed her now.

The whole shed process takes about a week-ish. They turn opaque, then clear, then they shed. I have had a female that laid eggs in clear phase. Normally, most of my females shed, then lay eggs, but some Corns don't read the books on what they're "supposed" to do. LOL
