corn snake egg laying

Question
My corn snake is over 6 yrs old and has never been introduced 2 a male and has never laid eggs but as of this moment she is pushing out her 5th egg is this normal? What should I do? Will she be ok?

Answer
She should be fine.  The eggs are PROBABLY not good, BUT snakes have been known to undergo parthenogenesis (self-fertilization), so if they are bright white and stay that way try hatching them.  Put them in barely moist vermiculite and keep them in the mid 80's for 60 or so days.
