Do corn snakes lay eggs, even if they are not fertilised?//?

my snake layed 3 eggs (or what seemed to be eggs) a few days ago. they were yellowish in color and about 1/2 inch long.
Answers:
Yes, snakes can lay unfertilized eggs. They are known as slugs and some females will produce them every year even if they aren't bred. As long as she has safely passed them, I wouldn't worry about it. The eggs will not be fertile and you can safely throw them away. Be aware she might do this next year and you might want to provide a nest box for her so that she doesn't retain eggs looking for a suitable nest spot. Many times the female will ovulate and then reabsorb the eggs so next year she may or may not lay them.

snakes wont lay eggs for the hell of it like chickens do...the eggs are fertilized when they are made...meaning, the second that snakes mate, an egg is produced...

No, candle light them to see if they are fertile (put a flashlight under them). It is possible that your snake was gravid when you bought her.

I'm not sure. I have a 9-10 year old Mangrove Monitor Lizard female and she has NEVER been any were close to a lizard, let alone another male lizard and she lays eggs all the time, then eats them. they aren't fertile, they are flat and soft. I have never understood why she does this, but she does. I do not think snakes do the same thing, I would call a herpetologist and ask.

Gallianomom gave you the best answer. Yes, snakes do both, lay eggs that are not unfertilized, and sometimes reabsorb unfertilized eggs. Strangely enough, the same snake will do either...
