Raising eggs, babies, selling, ect.

I have eleven Corn snake eggs. How do you incubate them and keep them slightly moist and stuff, any successful methods? Anybody know how much babies sell for, how old they must be, or should be, or where are some good places to sell them? In or around Lawton, OK.?

I keep mine in a shoe box size rubbermaid container with the lid on. The bottom of the box is filled with vercimulite. The eggs are 2/3 covered. The vercimulite to wet. Should we only wet enough so that when you squeeze it in your hand you only get a drop or two of water. Temp should be between 80-85. I keep mine around 83 and they usually hatch in 60-64 days. As for selling you should wait until they have shed and eaten 3 times. They do not need to eat until they have shed for the first time.

Very helpful, thanks. They can go pretty fast, eh? Would a two gallon ice cream pail work?
