never had this happen.....weird

so my 14(appx) year old corn started laying this morning and after the first 18 eggs were out i went in and checked on her and she had 2 eggs that had adhered together as well as adhered to her neck!!! lol she has never had that happen and neither have i. in all the years of breeding i have never seen eggs adhere to the snake itself. i have seen them get stuck to the bottom,side and even top of the egg laying container but never to the snake itself.
i didnt take any pics as i was more worried about getting them off of her. but she is nice and relaxed after her 21 egg clutch.
she will probaly get retired after this year, it seemed to take a toll on her and she is skinnier than usual after laying.
well thanks for listening

here is an old head shot of her

LOL My female laid last month. My first corn eggs ever and of course I had to watch. She was taking F-O-R-E-V-E-R to lay (probably due to me staring at her ). One or two of them actually got stuck to her vent she was going so slow! When she realized it she kind of jerked and ripped it off. "Ah... ouch!" *17 good eggs* Can't wait for next month!
