well as soon as you can you want to switch out the potting soil for some vermiculite or sphagnum moss (not peat moss). Problem with potting soil is that if it was straight out of the bag from a store it might contain any number of chemicals that the eggs won't like.



You want to be sure not to rotate the eggs. If the room they are in stays in the 80 - 85 range, it should be okay. Look at them and make sure they've plumped up properly.



I have never had corn eggs and am only on my first clutch of kingsnake eggs, but as far as I know their requirements are almost identical. I'm sure some of the experts on here who frequent both forums and have both kinds will be able to tell you better.



Just remember, since you didn't breed the snakes, and didn't prepare for their incubation and hatching, you are NOt to blame if they fail to hatch. Just do all you can, and celebrate those that hatch. THOSE you saved from a whole bunch of dying snakes, and you saved them. That is the GREAT thing.
