Surprise! (children's python laid eggs, please help)

[Howieb]

Please excuse my ignorance.

I have had a children's python for 10 years. It was from my kids' school, when the science teacher was trying to unload some excess critters and my son wanted a snake. It was easy, low maintenance and entertaining.

The snake hasn't been very active lately. It has been lying on its back, which it never did before. It has not been eating. Frankly, I thought it was dying.

All of a sudden, it has laid eggs. I can't imagine that they have been fertilized, this snake has no social life (in other words, it lives alone. No contact with other snakes).

Should I just get them out and toss them?

Thanks.
