I have a female P.c.annectens that had her pre-lay shed about 2 weeks ago, She laid one egg on Saturday morning, Then another Monday morning, then another today. I can still see about 9 more eggs inside her. The first egg looks like a slug and the other two were off colored and squishy. I put them all in the incubator just in case. Has anyone had this happen before?

Had this happen with one of my annectens several years ago and all the eggs were infertile,generally the case with any type of binding.
My best advice to you is leave her well alone and do not disturb any,its hard not to keep checking I know ,but you must resist and simply leave her well alone.
Trust me i've tried just about every trick in the book in the past with egg bound corns when I kept corns.The only thing thats ever worked for me is to simply let them get on with it.From adopting this viewpoint I have seen female lay eggs in ones and twos over a 2 week period in the past!!
As for the annectens she laid 3, then stopped, two days later 2 more and several days after that laid 2 more ALL INFERTILE.

Was she ever able to breed again and produce viable eggs?

Just an update. She's laid 8 more eggs all but one of which look infertile. The one that looks good is Huge! about the size of a small chicken egg. She's got a couple more in her and that's 11 so far. It'll be interesting to see how many she drops.
