Babe they aren’t babies. They were unfertilised eggs. Basically think of chicken eggs. They had nothing inside of them.
It happens with snakes. Its seemingly random, but so called "slugs" (unfertilized eggs) are relatively common. Some might also seem fertilized but go bad while incubating due to it not being viable in the end.
There is a reason why most snakes normally breed with multiple males so the eggs have a higher chance of being fertilized.
It's no different from the chicken eggs that you eat now. Breeders actually like to give those Slugs to snakes or other animals that eat eggs, since they do have a nice nutritional value.
They do that with chickens too. The farmers will throw some of the unfertilised eggs back into the hen-pen so they can eat it. We used to do it all the time and just crush up the shells of the eggs to put it into their dry food. Very efficient way of giving them calcium too!
WHAT ABOUT THE OTHER BABIESSS!!!!!!!????
