Yahoo Eggs On The Way!!!!!

[Burmlova1088]

On to the next step at last!!!! as i have posted be for i realy needed some info on corn snake breeding fast, because i knew mating season was coming. and this forum realy helped me out. this is my first time of breeding any thing. so when my snakes finnally went at it i just had to poste some pics. and i got great feed back thanks again people. now my female has finnally gone throguht her pre-lay shed. and now im ready for the next step. i can see and feel the eggs in side her. she is almost twice her normal size. i took the advice of some of the forum members and tried to fatten her up since she did look small. i bought 6 mice and she only ate one.... so um how long till she starts laying her eggs? i heard it was something like 10 days or less...is that true?...and when she lays them what do i do? write now she is in a cage full of peat moss. im hoping she will lay her eggs on top of it wont she? and then when the eggs are layed i just keep the peat moss moist right? and take her out? plz give me some feedback

Get a Cornsnake book & read the breeding section a few times. Run a search on GOOGLE on incubating Cornsnake eggs theres a little more to it then you seem to think. Be a resonsible pet owner & research your pets in the beginning is the best advice. Mark

You tried to feed your gravid snake to fatten her up?? Just so you know, after they have eggs in them, its TOO LATE to try and fatten them up. LOL!! Fattening them up happens before the male is introduced for breeding, during breeding, and SHORTLY after. After the pre-lay shed, its too late. The eggs are made inside the oviduct. They ain't gonna benefit from any nourishment.
