I will give a synopsis of what is going on: we have two female balls Wilson and Del(or so the vet said) that share a tank. Yesterday, when my husband went to feed Del we were in for quite a surprise! Wilson, and Del for that matter were both wrapped around a clutch of eggs! So, here are my questions, with a female ball lay eggs without the influence of a male? We have a male but they are in seperate tanks and he is not mature so I know he didn't do anything. If snakes aren't like chickens and lay eggs just for the heck of it, I need to assume that the vet was wrong? Next question, we weren't planning for this until next year so we are completely unprepared. What temps and humidity should the tank be at? We have not candled the eggs yet b/c we aren't sure at the snakes reaction to us digging around in there. But we don't want to leave unfertile eggs in there, especially since Wilson has been declining food for four months and Del for almost one. Any advise would be most appreciated. Thanks.
