milksnake{pueblan}laid 10 eggs today this is my first time,not the snakes first, breeding her..what to do next... newbee here?

Go to the kitchen and get a deli cup or some container with a lid. Put a damp papertowel in there and place the eggs on it in the same way that you found them with the snake, then put the lid on to keep the moisture in. You have to set up a more permenent enclosure with a substrate that will retain moisture better.

You can get plenty of information from "The General Care and Maintenance of Milksnakes" which you can read on Bob Applegate's website. Applegate Reptiles is listed on kingsnake.com's homepage in the Breeders section.

well went and bought a incubator..put egg in plastic bowl with verculite and moss..placed in the incubator...hum90 percent temp 82..check on them after 30 mins the temp was 110...probably kill them...?temp wasnt there long but...what do you guys think?

Incubators should be temp tested before the eggs go in for a few hours. I wonder how snakes get along w/o incubators for the last million years ?
