Re: well i have 11 eggs( what to do/expect

All okeetees are are selectivly bred normals for deep reds and oranges and thick borders.

Breeding mice for feeders for only a few snakes is a pain, you'll be spending more money and time with the mice then with the snakes; and mice stink. Its really only economical if you have a ton of snakes too feed, otherwise your better off money-wise buying a few months worth of frozen at a time.

Yes & No. ANY Cornsnake taken from the Okeetee region is an Okeetee & the only "true" ones can be traced back to WC parents from that region & they typically look as described. Eggs are fertile, paper is the worst substrate for them. You want perelite or vermiculite & get some egg crate for them to sit on as they will do much better if they are not in contact with the substrate. You can then keep the substrate as moist as you want with no issues other than watching the lid for buildup & possibly drippage. 60 days at 80-85F is good yep. As mentioned one of ypur snakes is an intergrade, but all Hybrids ar not infertile. Most hybrid Colubrids are totally fertile & can be bred together or back to the parent species very successfully.

P.S. pick up another complete setup for the other snake. Group housing is a BAD way to keep your snakes. Unwanted breedings is only one of the many negatives. There are NO positives for the snakes by group housing. Only positives are for you saving $ & space, neither of which helps the snakes in any way.
