77 days

texasviper619 Aug 06, 2010 07:34 PM

I've got 14 nice white kingsnake eggs that were laid 77 days ago, they are in vermiculite and my temps are 73-74(the alternative was the garage and it's 105) is this to be expected? It seems a little long to me, but Im new to eggs. Any input? thanks

Dustin....at those low temps you could wait up to 90 days.....

Around 80F is optimal in my opinion.....

90 days it is, the wife won't let me turn the ac down to 80 degrees lol. Will this present any problems with the hatchlings?
