Help! Eggs out of no where!

[Viper0hr]

Ok, first off thanks to everyone who replied, even those who seem to think I mistreat my animals, I do understand your point and position even if I think you came off a little harsh, which is fine. Regardless thanks for taking the time to reply and for any options/advice, it is appreciated.

I just want to say first, that when I received these snakes it was from someone who was unable to give them to anyone else after a week on CL and FB and was moving from Florida to Washington that following day (She was packing the last of the house as I arrived to pick them up), it was basically a "or else they will be wild released" sort of situation and I was told they were supposed to be the same gender by the owner who had owned both since they were babies, and I even asked here as well as local for issues housing together and was told that while it was not common and is best to separate asap, that so long as resources and space were ok and there was no "fighting" for better spots or resources that there should be little issue until they can be separated, so I chose to provide them with with bigger/better inner cage hides and things while I can, I spent $100 on the snakes and cage/setup from the owner and ended up spending $150+ the following week just upgrading the setup and adding a herpstate and proper temp/humidity readers since the original heat pad was UNREGULATED. I know and understand that separation is the best option and am not making excuses, just explaining my position on the issue and why I did what I did, and that I knew of the possibility for issues, of which there were none I have seen until the eggs. I by no means would want any harm at all to come to any animal I own if possible. I mainly found it extremely insulting that someone strongly implied that I cannot even provide food for my snakes any therefore should not have them (I have had a thriving small mouse colony since getting them and have plenty of frozen mice stored).
I am not a huge fan of rack systems due to lack of experience with them, and have passed on the opportunities to buy local made 4x2x2 enclosures to hopefully buy quality PVC ones instead when possible, which is why i neglected to do so until now, which is wholly my responsibility.

So anyways, to the issue at hand.
I have contacted a few people local through friends and am seeing if there is a breeder local who would want the eggs for free to keep and raise if possible, if there is no one by tomorrow I will remove and freeze the eggs and then dispose of them. As I said before I would have kept them if possible, but mainly because I do not want any eggs/life to go to waste if I can help it, but agree the best option is to dispose of them if I am unable to find them a home.
A good friend also asked if he could house the male at his home possibly, he has a nice 55+ gallon tank that would be nice for the male, he is a great pet owner and loves his animals like family and has and has had reptiles, so I trust him to take care of the snake, and most likely will be re homing the male there for the future.


If I understand correctly, the entire cage should be cleaned after the eggs removed to be of the scent, and the female should be soaked, anything else recommended?


Once again, thanks to those who replied, even the mean ones (joke), sorry for any wraith or anger that may have occurred at my stupidity, I entered owning my snakes with minimum knowledge and a goal to just provide my pets with as good a life as I can, and if I have to get yelled at on a forum for my mistakes, at least I will try and learn from them.
