snake eating own clutch

Hi everyone
I'm new here. I will introduce myself in my second post but first a quick question. My female lays a clutch every year and then SHE EATS THEM. How can I stop this? Thanks

Remove and incubate the eggs its healthier for her and by the sounds of it safer for the eggs too

I don't really know much about breeding snakes but this sounds like good advice to me.

As said remove them and incubate them yourself. We love to see pictures of your snake.
