she did it!

After the long agonizing wait my female, Andrea, has finally laid her first clutch. She dug all day yesterday and this morning I found 22 eggs. I was a little worried when she started dropping eggs on the ground just two weeks after
breeding (she dropped a total of 9 eggs on the ground). Any idea why this happened? Now comes the hard part... the wait.

Thats great! Glad to hear there were no probs! Sorry, no idea on the dropping early thing though. Were they fully formed?

p.s Do you still have that design for the dbl cage with the divider down the center? Or was it someone else who did that? Thanks!!

The eggs she dropped early were much smaller than the ones she laid today, and most were dented. The plans for the double cage with the divider on my website (funnymanreptiles.com), just click on the built it! tab. We ran out of space on it so it hasn't been updated in a while.

But on a sadder note just a few min ago I was going to feed my cornsnake and he was dead. He was only a year and a half old and had always been small and not grown much.

i'm sorry to hear that. i lost my first reptile, who was also a cornsnake, and felt terrible about it. little dippy snake was only a few months old when he passed of a digestive problem, a vet had told me earlier that he was fine....guess not.
