Posted - 29/05/2010 : 12:32:11 in the way that hens lay eggs, wether they've mated or not....do corns do this? I reaise this may sound silly, but dont know what sex Blaze is, and am not planning on breeding or co-habiting with another snake - but i keep reading horror stories about snakes becomming egg bound and dont want this to happen with Blaze (IF my snake is a she)!! Thanks |

Could also maybe like sensing a male nearby have anything to do with slugs as well? Sorry if I'm thread jacking but it's something I've heard about that makes it more likely.
Well it cant make it any less likley.
Indeed but I wondered if it made it more likely. I'm not really sure if snakes can sense each other near by.. I guess they must emit some snakey smell that they can pick up on though? |

Posted - 29/05/2010 : 12:54:52 Well letting the snake know its breeding season will probably make it more likley, but then you go into ethics when you think about creating a costant light cycle 365 days a year.
Its really not worth worry about. |

Posted - 29/05/2010 : 12:36:31 If you search for 'slugs' you will find some info about eggs that can be laid by a female that hasnt been mated....like this topic - http://www.thecornsnake.co.uk/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=5693&SearchTerms=slugs
