Found the weirdest thing in Links tub, please look

Yea I can't imagine them staying fresh for too long lol,
Oh now breeding plans are in force! What morph is link?

100th post!!!

Link's a normal so she is, I realllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllly like snows and golddusts and all those but I have to look into the genetics of them to see if I can make any cool babies, there all gonna be mine too
I'm sure my Dad will love it :P

K, someone with corn snake breeding experience said they look fertile so theres now 3 good eggs in the incubator...I candled them and theres between 2 and 3 small lines in the eggs and they all look decent (keep in mind I've not read up on this{until now} and I have no idea what a decent fertile egg looks like except from a few youtube videos... so I'm giving them a chance....there in a cricket tub with about 4 inches of damp spider substrate with white bits I assume is vermiculite lol (all I have) and then under the cricket box is a heatmat statted to 82 degrees and thats all inside a polybox.....Hope to **** this is right....whether there fertile or not there so getting a chance!
Joe

id put the heatmat on the side of the polybox or else raise the cricket box a few inches off the mat with strips of wood or something.

Thanks Ted. Done. :)

OK so my current Incubator setup is:
The eggs are in a cricket box with spider life substrate mix I got for my sling, there half buried in it.
The cricket box is on the floor of a polybox.
A heatmat connected to a thermostat at 27degrees celcius is taped to the lid.
A thermometer, and the thermostat probe are at the same level as the eggs so the temps are as accurateas possible...so far it's sitting around 27*C.
Theres a small bowl of water in there to keep humidity up and the substrate is moist. I think thats all I can do, anyone with any suggestions to modify this let me know!.
I'm very excited as a lot of people are saying how good those eggs look!
Link is doing very well and laid another 2 dud eggs.
That brings it to 3 good eggs in the incubator and 3 slugs.
I'll keep ya'll posted!

sound great! been an exciting/scary few days for you! i'm excited to see what comes out, how long is the incubation period for corn snake eggs?

60 days i think but he'll know if they'll be fertile in 2 weeks

Around 60 days as Dan said, in and around that time.....I can't wait!!!

Egg number 4 is in the incubator....

another one? do they normally take this long to lay them all?

Yep and I think it takes that long, not too sure though
Shes got another lump on her so I'm expecting at least 10 or 11.....lol

ohhh, that is good news! and no more duds so far?

Yeah it is !!!!
No just 3 duds so far and 4 decent eggs...I'll go have another look in at her 'cos I've had the snakes out the last while :P

Quick Update:

Another egg in the incubator....heres some pics of mummy and the latest egg now in the incubator...

Joe

So 7 eggs in the incubator (still look good) and 3 slugs. I'm still very optimistic about this!!! Only time will tell though...

awh great news! you think thats her? or you expecting a few more to pop out?

I think thats her done now! But ya never know

Eggs are starting to look quite bad with the exception of one which is still the same as it was on day one.

awh, Hang in there li'l egg!!

hehe thanks man, I was talking to it earlier :P It might help it lmao

haha, do whatever it takes! i wanna see that little guy hatch!

All the eggs gone now :(
I knew it'd happen but it's still a crappy feeling lol

ahh sorry to hear that joe :(

hey, sorry to resurect an old thread, just wondering, do all female snakes do this? as my hoggie is female? and would just be good to know if she'll lay eggs on her own?
