I'm scared of them getting stuck but without a breeding date I don't know if she's gravid and if she is how far along. I don't know at what point this is a danger

    It could easily be a yearly thing now, unless you get her spayed, which not many vets do, & very few owners request.

    Parthenogenesis has no "breeding date" but snakes tend to produce at roughly the same time every year, viable eggs or not.

    Fix her up with a nest box as I described- move out unessential things to make room- it's important that she feels safe, private, & has a proper nest box with minimal disruption.
