As this is my first time breeding corn snakes, I'm naturally a bit nervous. I was like this last season with the ball pythons. I just like to make sure I have everything ready and correct BEFORE I get eggs. Last season I was surprised by ball python eggs and I was running around like a crazy person.

So, I checked on Zim today and she was half sitting on her egg box, half on her water dish, so when I went to lift her off her water dish, I took a look at her belly. I can see little bumps along her belly. She is spending a lot of time in her egg box now. It is about a week and a few days since she shed. She refused her last meal.

Her egg box is a little plastic container filled with damp sphagnum moss. I'm going to fire up the incubator tonight so it can settle at the right temp before I get eggs. I plan on incubating at 80-82. I will be using vermiculite to incubate.

So am I on the right track? Pictures to come when I get eggs.
