I got some suggestions when I posted this on my facebook. While I know nothing on this topic, perhaps some of this could be helpful for you...

Cindy,
If it has only been a couple of hours, I would not start to worry yet. Leave her overnight, and hopefully, she will lay the rest of the eggs.
There is always the possibility of a infertal (and non calcified) egg mass that is blocking her laying the rest of the eggs. Masses like that tend to be large and fairly dense, and sometimes can block thing up.
You might want to gently palpate the area in front of the vent and see if you feel well defigned egg shapes, or, a random larger, and perhaps spongier mass. If you feel something that does not seem egglike, I would suggest that you get her to a vet tomorrow for a X ray.
Good Luck with her....


and

Also, a light squirt of mineral or vegatable oil into the vent might help things along. Sometimes, the eggs are just a bit too big, and have to be gently pushed out one at at time.
Had to help out a ratsnake with that problem once, but the eggs all hatched, and the female snake got through the process without any damage.
