Hi Rob,
I thought they were a little on the "long/rectangle" side as far as shape goes but they are snow white, no yellow to them. Guess I'll know more as the next 7-14 days go by. I got them away from her a little while ago and put them in sphagnum moss in the warm bathroom. This is her first year and she's right around 31-32" maybe her smaller size has something to do with the egg's shape (?). She pretty much ate the entire way through gestation, having a lrg. rat pup just 2 days ago. Here's hoping things stay good! My other females eggs are alomst 3 weeks in and are looking great so far.

Thanks Dianne and Susan (congrat's on your eggs too Susan!). I've been told Emma looks like an albino okeetee x candy cane mix because of the way her markings are. There is a good pic of her on my website on the corn snake page. Her eggs look awesome today and I e-mailed Kathy Love w/ a pic of the eggs and she said not to worry sometimes young females will have odd shaped eggs their first year or two but they look fertile so they should hatch out just fine. I can't wait to see the babies lol. I have no idea if mom and dad are het to anything or if I will just end up with some nice amel's!

Well,
That all depends on the female. I have one that laid her's 8 days after her shed and then this girl who laid 10 days after her's (she ate a large rat pup 2 days before laying). Some will lay within a week, other may take up to two weeks and again there have been a few that lay in the middle of being blue eye...some stop eating a couple weeks before laying and other's eat right up until it's their time. If your girl is gravid the lower 1/3 of her body should be fairly big around and kinda squishy feeling compared to the rest of her...has she showed any interest in a nesting site?
