Eggs from a pair of Scaleless Corn Snakes het for Striped Butter. All Scaleless corn snakes in the hobby toDAY are hybrids between the original pairing of a Corn Snake to an Emory’s Ratsnake.  I know, I know, where’s the damp moss?  I actually removed the Sphagnum Moss nest box from her cage when I saw that she was about to lay eggs.  I do not recommend doing this, but as long as gravid females are checked two or three times daily AND do not have a water bowl in their cage in which to drown eggs (rare, but happens), little risk is taken.  What is the saying, “don’t try this at home.  I’m a professional“?

Here’s what you get when you grudgingly decide not to breed a nice female Lava Terrazzo corn snake.  Not unlike Chickens that lay eggs without fertilization by Roosters, these are infertile eggs that she–like most healthy adult female corns–lay even when they have no contact with a male.  Note their smaller and more elongate shape, and their hugely-off-white or yellow coloration.  This does not mean that fertile eggs this color are not fertile, but these are classic in size, shape and color for infertile corn snake eggs.
