Corn snake eggs

[Lancecham]

This female laid her eggs and she was very protective of the eggs and didn't want me to separate her from the eggs.

That's a neat picture, have you been able to get a count? I see 13.

 

[Lancecham]

I didn't count, but there is close to 18-20 there. The snake is covering a lot of them.

It is cool how they all stick together isn't it. Just be glad your not trying to get eggs out from under a king cobra mommy.

Yeah, it is cool how the eggs stick together.

Do you artificially incubate the snake eggs?
I know absolutely nothing about snakes or breeding them. But I like your pictures and was curious to ask.

Yes, I artificially inubate the eggs just as i do with the sulcata eggs. Artifially incubating them assures the proper temps and proper humidity.
Here is one of the ball python eggs in my hand. They are huge.

No way!!!!

I think it is funny that a ball python egg is that big. Isn't a sulcata egg smaller than that? LOL

So, do snakes lay eggs on the surface, then? Since it both pics they didn't look to be covered in dirt.

 

[Lancecham]

The eggs are much bigger than a sulcata. I believe I weighed a sulcata egg a while back after 2 months of incubation and it was about 43 grams.
This ball python egg is 94 grams.
Usually, the snakes will make a nest in the substrate, but basically, it is on the surface as you can see in the ball python pic.
