I imagine that it is possible that these are fertile eggs, snakes have been known to retain viable sperm for a number of years - but I think for as many years as you have had this snake with no male company it is improbable that they are fertile. Still there is only one way to find out, start to incubate them (actually you could candle them too, but that works better after they have incubated for awhile). If you need assistance for making an incubator, contact me by email at GBartHGWT@aol.com.
