This seems to be a crazy year for snakes, both my girls laid slugs too, one was 13 and I didn't get her a lay box in time, she went in it, laid 12 slugs, crawled out and died. I had no idea she was even gravid, she is fully grown but the eggs were the size of marbles so I couldn't feel them and didn't give it a second thought that she could be gravid.
I don't know why she just started, my guess is that (for me, anyway) I had 6 corns, two of them female, and the hormones just started raging. Last year when I only had one corn (female) nothing unusual happened.
Do you also have a male corn?
