Answers:
What you have is a Checkered Garder Snake, right? Its not likely that they will eat their babies, unless the baby is stillborn or sick, then maybe she will. If she is still in the birthing process, then yes, she may still have more babies. As few as 3 or as many as 50 may be born in a single litter. The babies are independent upon birth, abandoning the mother, so yes, you can separate them from the mother. Garder snakes are non-venomous, so therefore their offsprings (babies) are also non-venomous. The usual diet of garder snakes are slugs, earthworms, insects, leeches, lizards, amphibians, birds, fish, and rodents. As for feeding the babies, you can start out with slugs, earthworms, etc., any of the above that are small, or pinky mice. As for sexing them, they will have to be probed.
Theoretically, she can; I don't know how likely it is that she would, however. For food, try mice unless someone tells you different.
