Hello everyone, I am new here and would like to know what is the humidity level for corn snake eggs. This is my 1st clutch and really exactly know what I am doing. I do know the basics, but not completely. All help will be appriciated. Here are some of my questions:

-humidity level in incubator
-has anyone used this(hatch right) what did you do?
-is it true that the red blood clot looking thing should be on top?(candling after laying)
-can eggs be candled again in 3 weeks?

Anything you know and are willing to share will be gladly appriciated. Thanks in advance...:confused:
 
Hi Januarylove. I am not knowledgeable about breeding as I have not been a corn snake owner for very long, but I would definitely recommend trying to see if you can get some of this info from the search engine. You may have tried this route, but if not there are at least 12 titles of posts w/ humidity in the title in the breeding/egg production & care forum (11 not including your own ;D).

If that does not work than I would say you are definitely in the right place as I have found good advice in bunches every time I have posted inquiries so far.

Good luck!
 
I haven't had any first hand experience with clutches of eggs yet but according to the Kathy Love "Bible" on corn snakes, if you use vermiculite, leave the top 10% of the egg showing above the surface and then trim a single sheet of paper towel to fit the container and lay it loosely on top of everything. When you check on the eggs, if the paper towel is dry and hard, the eggs need more water. If it is slimy or soggy, leave the lid off the container for a bit and possibly add some a little dry vermiculite to even things out. Also, the condition of the eggs will tell you about moisture level. If they are starting to sag inwards or have dents, add water. If the eggs look like they're overfilled and about to burst, let it dry out a little.
Again, I don't have any first hand experience, but this is probably the route I'll follow when I eventually have eggs. I highly recommend you pick up a copy of "The Corn Snake Manuel" by Bill and Kathy Love as it has tons of great information. You can get it from their site, www.cornutopia.com, or Amazon.com, http://www.amazon.com/Corn-Snake-Ma...bs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1213466748&sr=8-1

Hope this helps you out and good luck with your eggs!
