Corn snake SURPRISE clutch!

My corn snake is in the process of laying eggs (5 so far), and I think they are slugs from seeing eggs on the internet. I got her from my cousin on the 7th of February. Is it possible that she was bread to a male back then or is there no way and she is just laying them as a miscarriage or period or something?

All info on the subject is welcome as I have never bread corn snakes before but I was planning to breed them (and ball pythons etc.) but this is really unexpected, I thought I had time to learn about them first lol.

What should I do?
 
Read REALLY fast!

Chances are they are slugs, but get to the Breeding section and read up on incubation and possible complications (esp. egg binding). Good luck!

I heard the female corns can retain sperm for the next year, but dont know if they would be fertile eggs if she done that. So maybe a possibility. Also some corns can lay "fake" eggs which would all come out slugs - but not sure how true that is or why they do it. When our corn snake laid them unexpectantly we luckily had some vercumalite so we put all the eggs (dont turn them) in a container and left them in the mothers viv until the next morning when we were able to buy an incubator. If they all come out yellow then the chances of them being fertile are pretty much zero - we were googling all this while watching our poor female pop out 11 eggs and we ended up with a few babies so good luck :)
