And these are the mums- it looks as though there are about 42 eggs but I only expect about 35-38 to hatch.

Congrats on the eggs... The eggs look a bit wet on that one side.. Make sure they do not get too moist, it can cause molding and etc.. You can use a humidity gauge... Good luck with them

Lovely group of eggs, and nice looking Moms! However, I have 2 questions...why are they in the same nest box, and most importantly, why have you fed one of them in the presence of the other? If the other snake had also gone for that mouse, you would have a serious situation on your hands. Even if it was "just for the photo", it only takes the second you use to focus and click the shutter for a snake to strike at and grab it's prey.

Mice! They taste so nice!
Nice clutches, but they do look a bit wet to me. And like Susan, I'd have to ask how come you fed them together?

Ivy the normal lay second and so was not hungry at this point in time- she had no interest whatsoever in turning around and taking the mouse and i knew that.
Neither them have a strong feeding response at the best of times. I often do feed them together since they always live together unless i sense theyre going to be a bit more perky in which case i seperate one of them- usually the anery, shes a keener feeder. I always hold it in front of their face until they bite then stay with them until they've swallowed.
Theyre calm snakes and happily shared the same box, one laying before the other. They had a choice of two boxes but they both went in the same one and i thought of serparating them from the point of view that i was worried they would lay identical looking eggs the same day and confuse me but because of mating times this didnt seem likely and it didnt happen that way. They really did not mind each other's company. theyre used to it.
If the worst came to the absolute worst and one ever did snap round and bite (which i wont let them do- honestly), they have such a nervous hold usually theyll let go as soon as i touch them, and im really not likely to be overpowered by a pair of corn snakes- id get one of them gently away.

And theyre also not too wet, its just fine, and as recommended. last year i incubated without moss and a few eggs got a little dry, so ive added that on top but theres no condensation or anything. the ones on the right are a bit shinier.
