Hi everyone,
my boyfriend owns two corn snakes that have taken it upon themselves to mate and this has obviously resulted in the laying of eggs.
neither of us are sure of what to do with the eggs as we would like to keep them so obviously dont want them to die.
so could anyone advise us as how to care for these snake eggs please. this would be much appreciated :)

thanks all.

Are you keeping the snakes together?? People have differing opinions on co-habitation but the norm seems to be not to do it. Plus i guess this is what you would expect from it.
If you arent wanting them to die either incubate them or take them to a breeder/reptile/pet shop

Anyway check out these links for more info on eggs;

if you have a look through the threads in the breeding section you'll find plenty of info.......

and why did your boyfriend think a male and a female kept together wouldn't breed??
