Corn snakes dont care for their eggs, ever, at all, so hes talking crap, basically. Using an incubator is always the best way because we cannot usually re create the ideal incubation temps and humidity in a viv, where as in an incubator the temps can be controlled precisely and the humidity can be set to run away with its self. You need around 100% humidity, but not too wet, thats where compost etc comes into wild laying habits.
Any snake wont do well in a 100% humidity environment anyways, so its not a good idea from that stand point.
Most people with incubators have near on 100% hatch rates, so he cant be doing too well really.
Where his head at is most likely the snake has laid her eggs in the hide, where the snake wants to be, so he thinks that because she is squeezed in there with them that she is looking after them, whereas she is just competing for heat with them, and doesnt care about them one bit. |
