So, yesterday I walked into the room and saw my snake qoiled around some eggs. I didn't know I had a male and female snake, because I bought them both when they were just hatchlings( but at different times). I have no idea what to do, or how to go about this. I bought a little 1 gallon plastic tank and filled it about half way with Vermiculite, and put a heating pad underneath the tank. I also got a hydometer and a thermometer.. I've been able to keep the temp. stable, but not the humidity, so I wrapped the tank up with plastic wrap leaving about a fourth of the lid uncovered, so there was oxygen in the tank. Well, it still wasn't humid enouf, so I replaces the vermiculite, with water, so I have the eggs in a little bowl of vermiclutie, that is floating in water, but I still have the same problem of hydration. I am getting worried, because the eggs are getting are getting sunken in looking and has dimples. IF anybody has advise that can help me pleasedo, anything will, help I'm so worried about the eggs. thank you.
