Well, it usually takes somewhere close to 40 days for them to lay. Somewhere around 4 to 5 weeks after mating the female will go into a pre lay shed. Then she will usually lay around 7 to 10 days after that.
At temps between 77 to 82 they should take anywhere from 55 to 65 days to hatch.
This season my temps averaged about 79 degrees and the eggs are averaging about 65 days to hatch.

thank you

Did you see them breed?
Were the snakes light cycled?
Temperature cycled?

If you put those snakes togather recently it may be too late to realistically expect them to breed successfully. At this point in time eggs are hatching (or have already hatched) for a lot of corns.

Successful breeding usually happens when lengthening light cycles trigger female snakes to ovulate. After that there is a "window of time" in which the snake must breed in.
