You learn something new everyday. Thanks for the lesson, as I have never heard of a Ball Python eating while gravid. Have you palpated the snake to insure that there are eggs in there? If she is indeed eggbound, she will probably die if the eggs are left in there. I would call the closest Veterinarian College to you, and ask them if they could remove the eggs for you. Sometimes they could use your snake for practical experience for students, and you get the necessary work for your snake. Something to look into. I hope everything works out for you.
