I used to buy them all the time and bring them home on my bike. That had to be good for 'em! I'd say about 1/2 to 3/4 that I shook up on the ride home still managed to hatch.
The ones i took better care of nearly always hatched. We used peat, sphagnum moss,and/or newspaper back then.
I hatched my first indigo like that.
Back in the '70's I worked with a guy who'd sell just about anything...In fact on his price list was this:
Snake Eggs--Available only during June, July and August.
Six fertile eggs of two or more species with sufficient incubating material and instruction sheet. $6.00 ppd.
You could get a dozen for $10.
Also of note (I remember laughing at these outrageously HIGH prices!) were:
Scarlet kingsnake (Lampropeltis doliata)1 to 2 feet
small$7.50 med.$10. large $12.50 Extra large $15.00
Common kingsnake (L.g.getulus)
$6.-$12.50
Fl kingsnake (L.g.floridana)
$3.-$10.
I'm thinking of having a sale like that this year
