ringneck eggs?!??!?!?!?!??!

dmlove Jul 09, 2003 12:00 PM

we had a what we thought baby ringneck snake (about 10 inches) and it stopped eating, no matter what we tried she refused, and then this morning we found her dead in her enclosure, looking awfuly skinny with lots of dents and bumps on her. We took her outside and buried her, and when we were cleaning out her cage under 1 rock was 4 1 inch long eggs. one of them was broken, so we threw it out. I took the other three, trying not to rotate them, and but them in a deli cup with vermiculite and about 3 hours later when i brought them home i put them in my incubator set at aeround 80 degrees. Did i do the right thing or should i just take them out of the incubator? thanks all

I have no experience with incubating ringneck snakes, but I don't know anyone who does. I would do what you did, but check what people recommend as temperatures for incubating other snakes' eggs from the same area. I would be interested to read how they come out.
