    I tend to agree with having a scan done to see what's going on internally. I have 2 adult rat snakes that never bred yet lay infertile eggs every year, & used to do 2nd clutches as well. Now there's only one that does a 2nd clutch- I found out this year when she appeared to be hungry but refused food twice- not like her at all. I gave her a nest box again with damp moss, & finally she laid her 2nd clutch (of duds) only yesterday. Actually, I'd be inclined to do the same thing with your snake for a while, rather than stressing her with a vet visit when she needs to be completely relaxed to expel eggs, if that's what's going on. You sure don't want her to become egg-bound- and if you give her a place to lay right now, I bet she'll demonstrate her "answer" by using it.
