thanks in advance

typicly after a few day since the corn has laid her eggs and there is still one or more left to go.but I have expierienced snakes passing infertile eggs in the course of over a week. If your snake has laid a cluch and dosn't seem to be able to pass others within a couple of days I would recomend bringing them to the vet to have them removed.

Oh I’m sorry that was my wife LOL, well it has been years since I had to deal with that problem (not the wife but her being gravid LOL)
The female corn will seem fuller in the back half of their body, so people can feel the eggs inside the snake, but I would not recommend handling them too much. The may or may not feed and on their next (pre-lay) shed that back end near the vent will be very swollen. You would need to put a nest box in for her to lay her eggs in at that point. Normally after the pre-lay shed thay will not eat until the have laid their eggs.
Also, if your female is of age, more then a year old (two years normally) and she was introduced to a amle corn, I would assume that she is gravid. Corns breed very willingly and with out much fuss, so if you put them together then chances are she is knocked up (kind of like teenagers LOL)
Good Luck
