Keep the male away from her and only feed her about one small mouse every other week or so. And cool her down into the low to mid 70s. But if your next clutch is good then forget all that and enjoy!

Sounds like your snake is very low on calcium in take for the eggs. Feed that girl some small mice.
never thought of that.......
..I did give her a small mouse ....well....she stopped now.....shed again any second.....
..I fed small stuff between clutches so I could feed her more often.........no hair or little hair would digest faster...
.......she will be fed larger now after she lays.....
.......hopefully they are good..........

Try dusting her food with a calcium suppliment.

eggs are OK...shell ok and size ok........it's the male.........another 11 duds........
.........I gave her a small mouse.......I'll call Ted (S-Ecto.com) today and see if he still has 2 or 3 males working .........otherwise I'll have to stop her........
Thanxx.......
