The Miracle

Hello guys, so today is going to be a post that will be continued, but for now let me tell you what I got! Sorry I have not posted lately but, this is why...

So, a few days ago my mom went into our animal room to check in on everyone and saw something peculiar. She called me up and told me to bring her phone too, so I did. When I got up there I asked why She told me to look into the female corn snake cage. I did, there was the hide lifted up, both females together under it, and... eggs! 8 beautiful eggs!
We had been breeding both girls to our male, so it could have been either. We thought it must have been the white one she is so much bigger. So to confirm it we took her out and weighed both.We weighed coconut, the white one, first then picked up skittles, the orange one, and she was weightless and super tiny. It was her. anyway we weighed her here are the weights. It was Skittles.
Skittles (mom)
Coconut

 



















 Big difference, now we were sure. We are still expecting a clutch from coconut. She recently did her shed before which means in the next week or so she should lay. We can feel them in her last best estimated count was 13 eggs. Anyway, after that we rushed over to our local pet store, bought hach'em (rock like substance to help them hatch right) and a incubator. We got back and set up the incubator. We then pulled the eggs out and put them into cups with hatch'em in it. When we pulled them out we noticed one brown orange one. That one is a infertile egg. There is no baby snake in it. It is empty. Here's the pictures
                              The one on the bottom is the infertile.The brown stuff at the bottom of the cup is hatch'em.

Just so you know Skittles is doing good she is eating small meals.
They should hatch in June. So we plan to sell them. We will probably keep one though! So if your interested let me know. We are very happy! We will have these in June, Our white on is going to lay soon, And we have a ball python getting ready to lay too. I will post a update when something happens. Have a good day. Thank you! Bye!
