Let's see if you guys can make it 2 for 2 on answering my questions, lol. Let me preface the question by saying I am not going to breed cornsnakes, I just want more info. How many eggs do cornsnakes average per breeding. Again this is an answer I have not found on the numerous care sheets I have looked at. Thank you!

Of coarse there are those who lay less or more,but the average range is between 10 and 30 eggs. Last season i had an average egg ratio of 14.7 per clutch.

For me it's 14-16 eggs in the first clutch. If the snake double clutches, an additional dozen are laid. I've had three 30-plus egg clutches, but these eggs are usually small and not all are fertile/survive.

Damn CSG! What kind of snake was it in that last pix?
Awfull purty....

Where I come from we call that a "creamsicle." It's an amel corn crossed to a Great Plains Rat Snake. "Back in the day" it was believed that corns and GPRs naturally intergraded, so people bred them to create a "redless" amel corn (Great Plains Rats are gray). Thus, we have the faded orange look of a creamsicle corn.

This "look" is lost a bit when a creamsicle is bred to another corn, as the Great Plains influence gets dilluted. Therefore, there are many "creamsicles" which don't look all that different from amel corns.

Also, some folks have reclassified GPRs as seperate species than corns and claim that they do not intergrade naturally (despite several books that say they do). So it's possible that creams are dreaded hybrids - but I choose not to believe that until there's further proof provided.
