Egg Sacks?

Cito Aug 11, 2003 04:20 PM

When my milk snakes hatch, will they still have their egg sacks attached to them? If so, what do i do? What would happen in the wild

They will cut through the sack when they cut through the egg, so you don't have to worry about it.

Just don't hurry them out of their eggs. If you do, they might not have absorbed their umbilicus and if they catch it on something, it can rip out the snakes intestines. Let them come out in their own sweet time. They may stay in the egg for a day of so after pipping.
