You can try aspirating the last egg in the snakes body cavity. You use a hypodermic needle and stick it through the side of the snake and into the last egg. Withdrawal as much of the egg yoke as you can until you are able to massage the egg out of the cloaca. Sometimes the snake will lay the rest of the eggs itself or you may need to soak and rub the rest of the eggs out. This is a somewhat risky procedure. Maybe some of the breeders out there can give you some more pointers.
