My corn snake eggs are 70 days old. They have been in an incubator but they still have not hatched and some have sunk is this normal. |

my 28 hatchlings are quite a bit smaller than my other females 16 i had a few months ago. your hatchling was strong enough to make it out of the egg so it's probably o.k. if you think it realy won't be able to eat a small pinkie you can feed it just a pinkie head |

Hi all i have a snake that has hatched but it is very small and thin compared to the others. Will it be ok and if so wot would i feed it as a pinky is going to be way to big. |

You could go to your local pet shop and ask them for empty cricket boxes - the one near to me gave me 10 for free
give em a clean out with reptile safe disinfectant and they will be fine
good thing is they've already got air holes for the snakies |

Cool but if i do run out of pots would it hurt to pair them up |

my preference is to seperate them, makes it easier to see who has shed etc. |

Are we able to keep the babies together or do they need to be seperated?? |

My first one pipped after 85 days this year, so you may still have a way to go
sinking inwards is perfectly normal, its the snake absorbing the contents of the egg.
Most of mine looked quite unhealthy but all but 3 have hatched now and are doing fine :)
Good luck, and keep us updated |

wouldn't bother with the torch. if your eggs are on day 70 and still look healthy i don't think you have anything to worry about. |

we were told to shine a torch to them so did this but could not see any movement |

perfectly normal, some will sink as the the snake inside the egg is absorbing the yolk. they should be out soon |

good luck |
