Is it too late to switch out the egg box

Colorfulcorns Apr 21, 2006 10:57 AM

I was wondering if it is too late to switch the egg box because my Blizzard goes in it then out and she looks really agitated.
The egg box is small she gets in and thats about it, she doesn't have alot of room. She is about 4-8 days from laying and i do have a bigger egg box ready to go.
I can feel about 18 eggs in her....
Thanks to all that help...

I added a second, larger nest box to my snake's cage (a couple days before she layed), because I was thinking she didn't like the first one. Apparently, it is normal for them to go in and out a lot. I figured with two boxes, she could pick the one she liked best.

they go in and out and rip cages apart and spill water bowls and make a mess sometimes.......they are junting and searching and just looking around.......

I use cut off gallon jugs.......they lay in the small space just fine....

for the few corns I have that are 4 foot and heavier........I just fill the whole sweater box (cage) with cypress or moss and let them just lay in the whole box..they are too big for the jug...

........huge corns can get into shoe boxes if you have the cage space for them......

use moss or peat or cypress but don't use perlite or vermiculite for nest boxes........
