We were cleaning out the corn snakes today, and my wife looked into the royals area.
We had a male spider in with a normal reduced pattern female. He was producing sperm plugs, but never seemed to go near the female..
today my wife opened the box and started screaming.. there were 7 eggs, 5 had gone a bit green and did start to smell.. the other 2 we have put in an incubator... they were pretty flat, but fingers crossed they will plump up, even if they are normals... we have never produced royal eggs, this was our 1st go, so alittle bit of downer.
