Default Confusion with my gravid corn - HUH?

I have a gravis corn snake which is yet to have her last shed before laying. Yesterday i found very tiny white blobs in her water bowl. They looked like very tiny squishy eggs. She does still appear to be gravid, any ideas anyone???

Are you sure she is gravid?? It is too late in the year for them to breed, in fact they are about ready to brumate now.

You sure they weren't urates? If they were slugs they'd normally be yellow, but I have heard of corns laying in water bowls.

she is definately gravid. she was sexed by someone through popping and i was told she was a male so i cohabited her with my other male. I discovered strange lumps and took her to the local rep expert who probed her as female and decided shes gravid.
could have just been "wee" but they were definately round
