I certainly hope they aren't being KEPT under a heat lamp. Snake eggs are supposed to be kept in a moist medium of vermiculite, and/or Perlite. A good "target" temperature is between 80-82 degrees.



Below are some eggs from a milksnake, so they are larger than cornsnake eggs, but the setup is the exact same.



They are more than likely infertile, but good eggs can also be anywhere from white/off white, to a beige color and still be perfectly fine,...but as FunkyRes also mentioned, if the eggs are hard, or very yellow, or slimy, the eggs are NOT viable. It would be nice to see some pics though.



That is definitely ONE of the contributing factors as to the snake not eating,.....but they also will not eat with the remaining RI problem either until it starts to subside.



The snake is more than likely going to look like skin and bones after all this,........so if she does look severely emaciated, do as mentioned in my previous post, and only offer VERY small meals,........if she's willing to eats at all. But DO NOT disturb her until ALL eggs are deposited, as this will stress her even further.



I would wait until the day AFTER she lays the eggs to do this, that way, she can begin to get re-situated again.





WHAT NEXT?....hahaha!



good luck!, ~Doug
