The Cornsnake Market

[BHReptiles]

Do you know if this is her first clutch? If it is, then I would not expect 20 at all. Maybe 10-15. If you get too many eggs for you to handle, you can take the extras and put them in the freezer, then throw them away the next morning. Better to kill them in the egg than after they have hatched. Like my hatchling rack will only be big enough for 16 hatchlings, if I get 17 then 1 is going in the freezer.

I agree with everything, especially this. There's no one saying you have to hatch ALL the eggs you produce. If you only want to hatch 5 or 6, put the rest in the freezer. I agree that's it's more humane to kill them in the egg than out.

However, that said, I do think it's a great experience! Corn snakes are really cheap these days and I bet you sell them to a pet store on wholesale prices. I can't wait to breed my corn snakes next spring. I'll hopefully be putting my first breeding pair through brumation this winter (as in this upcoming December).

Good luck!
