That won't be very healthy for your snake then, I wouldn't keep them together. At that age you are asking for health problems such as egg binding. They should really only be bred at 2-3 years depending on size and health. If the female is less than a year old, it is a bit irresponsible to be housing it with a male. I'd be looking to check that she is alright, it is a stress she shouldn't really have had to endure. Sorry if I've misunderstood what you've said though.

Hatched eggs will have torn shells where the babies broke through. Unflertilized will just be empty.
