listen and read these instruction carefully
Female Corn Snakes will lay between 10 and 20 eggs, which will need to be incubated for between 55 and 65 days (7 to 9 weeks). Try to keep the eggs at a constant temperature of 26-29°C (79-85°F). Vermiculite is a good substrate to have inside the incubator as it will help keep the humidity levels correct.
If incubation is successful the hatchlings should break out of their eggs using an egg tooth. They will remain in the eggs to soak up the york for a few days before venturing out of the shell. You should watch them closely at this stage, but not force them to leave the egg before they are ready.
Once they are out of the egg, the hatchlings will all need to be housed separately. Small sandwich box type RUBS (Really Useful Boxes) are good for housing your hatchlings at this stage.
Hatchlings will require their first feed after their first shed, which should occur around a week after they hatch. If the hatchling is reluctant to eat it's first pinky, try braining the pinky to encourage them to take it. If you are planning to sell on your hatchlings, it is important to ensure that the hatchlings are readily accepting food and are healthy before selling them.

Can hot weather affect baby crocodiles?
there will be fewer since the eggs need to be the perfect temperature to incubate and hatch
Can a hen overheat her eggs?
No, the eggs and the hen kind of go hand in hand. A chickens body temperature is 101-102ºF. That happens to also be the temperature that the eggs need to incubate at. Since the chicken cannot warm the eggs to a higher temperature than she is, the hen herself cannot overheat the eggs.
What temperature do snake eggs need?
85 Degree Max 75 is perfect
How do you keep abandoned eggs warm?
Incubators. a good temperature is 99.5 degrees Fahrenheit.
Can you artificially incubate freshwater shrimp eggs?
Yes, it is possible to artificially incubate freshwater shrimp eggs. The eggs can be collected and transferred to a separate container with controlled water parameters such as temperature, pH, and salinity. The eggs will then hatch within a specific time frame under these controlled conditions, allowing for successful incubation.
Does a female Corn Snake need a male snake for eggs to hatch?
yes...
What is the purpose of the birdhouse?
Birds need a home because they reproduce by laying eggs, and those eggs need to have a safe place to incubate, until they hatch.
Is a bird or a snake more likely to have fewer offsprings?
A bird will probably have fewer young than a snake. Most birds deposit their eggs in a nest - which they then need to incubate. This means the nest can only be a certain size for all the eggs to get the warmth ofthe mother. Snakes - on the other hand - will deposit their eggs in places like compost heaps, or other vegetation - and leave the incubationo to nature. This means they're not really restricted to the size of a nest. Some species of snake only lay perhaps six or seven eggs, while the larger Pythins can lay mroe than forty !
Do you need an incubator for the eggs to hatch if it is cold outside?
Depends on if you have a broody hen. If the hen is brooding then you do not need to incubate, if you have no natural brooder then yes, an incubator is needed.
How warm do eastern racer snake eggs need to incubated?
78-83f
Can you incubate eggs in an oven?
It takes 21 days at 100.5 F with a 50% humidity level to incubate a fertilized egg. You cannot hurry this up and I would suspect you might need the oven for other things over a 21 day timeframe.
How do you tell turtle eggs from snake eggs?
There's no need to 'protect' them. Snakes wouldn't eat the turtle eggs anyway. The only species of egg-eating snake - eats small bird eggs - not reptile eggs.
