Hey Tony! Those poss het pieds are getting big.

>1. Did she drop these eggs while she deficated because they weren't viable?

I've never heard of that.

>2. Should I wait a full month expecting her to lay eggs on a normal schedule?

They don't always lay "on schedule". I would just continue to treat her as normal - feed her, etc.

>3. The remaining eggs are most likely slugs and I have never heard of a snake being egg bound with slugs. The first two eggs weighted 20 grams a piece.

If they are slugs and small like the first two, I doubt she would become "egg bound". Just monitor her behavior (feeding, activity, etc.).

Keep us posted.
