surprise eggs i need help asap

durtis

im a snake addict
my motly sunglow has made some eggs....i had her in a tank for about 2 weeks about 4 weeks ago cause i ran out of space from moving....so she was in a tank with a (from what i thought was) female rat snake... but idk what to do or if they are even fertile... help me
 
If the other snake is male, then the eggs could be fertile.

However, as you're unprepared, I'd suggest putting the eggs in the fridge to ensure that they don't develop, then throwing them out. That combination can certainly breed successfully, but you might want to spend the next year researching what it takes to incubate eggs and care for hatchlings (then figure out how you're going to sell them in a recession), and give it another try next season.

If you put them back together again and the other snake is male, then they'll mate again. They don't take any encouraging!
 
well right now she has only had 2 eggs but there are deffinetly more coming and i would like to hatch them...i havent touched the eggs yet theyre still in her viv but i want to try to prepare for them in time
 
make sure she has a lay box...and don't disturb her. If she gets stressed out she could become egg-bound and that would be bad.

How big is she? Do you know her weight?
 
i dont know her weight but she has laid 7 eggs now and shes done... she already ate and is settling in for a nap...she is about 3 feet...ill put some pictures on later
