My female eastern just laid 10 eggs.

All but one look good, and even the suspect one does not look
too bad.

Now I'm in part two of the very long wait;
the incubation period.

Congratulations on a clutch of eggs with near 100% good eggs. What's the diet of the parents? Thanks.

I've only fed rats and mice to them.
These are 05 hatchlings, first breeding.
Female started laying yesterday at 5 pm, finished laying today sometime after 3 am.
Took the eggs out a 6am, and she took her first meal tonight at 8 pm.
She looks in very good shape, not much weight lose after laying.
Most snakes look "deflated" after laying, but she looks just a bit thin.

Congratulations!

good luck with the incubation. Keep us posted!
