Average incubation time?

[crystalsangel08]

I have my first clutch of cornsnake eggs in the incubator and seeing what others times for incubation are
My questions are
1-how long did they take to pip?
2-at what temperature did you incubate?
3-did you incubate in a room or incubator
Mine are on day 42 at 82.6-83.8 in an incubator
Thanks for any replys

Pip time directly correlates to incubation temper. The lower the temp, the longer they take. I typically incubate between 80 and 82 degrees, and depending on where the container is in the incubator, hatch times can be between 75 and 80 days.

The above is a good temperature range. Try giving the eggs a modest day/night fluctuation. And the longer you give the eggs to hatch (within reason, of course) the better off the babies will be. I believe the trigger to hatch is when the yolk in the egg runs our of oxygen, not when it runs out of sustenance. Hotter the temps, the more rapid the respiration, and the quicker the the baby needs to pip, often before all the nourishment than can be attained has taken place. My opinion, of course. But after watching a few baby corns hatch out, this is an observation I have made.
