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
