WEll, we put two cornsnakes together and just discovered eggs in the cage, now we need to know what to do? We weren't paying attention and this is our first time. Need help ASAP
 
First of all they shouldn't be together, they can eat each other literally... Chances are those eggs are duds as they breed in spring but they can double clutch but the male is put in too late to have fertilized them most likely..

the people here will tell you better what to actually do with them...
 
I see what you are saying, these snakes are kept in the same room as the furnace, so they are around 80 all the time, not like being in the wild, most of the eggs look healthy, im just unsure if I should do anything at all or just wait and see what happens, the one snake is all cuddled to the eggs, while the other snake don't really seem interested in them.
 
80 all the time can also stress them out.. they need proper temperature range to properly digest their food but again the pro's here will help you and tell you what to do witht he eggs.. but I would separate the snakes if I were you or you can loose one or both of them as the one that eats the first one rarely survives..
 
separate the animals into two 20 gallon tanks. They may last for quite a while in relative peace if you leave them together but one may be eaten, they may keep breeding, and the stress will cause them to have a reduced quality of life. You need to decide if you are prepared to incubate/hatch the eggs or are not ready for that responsibility.
 
How old are they, how long is the female and what is her weight?

DEFINITELY separate them immediately, and get some books and all the info you can from the internet on corn snakes. Two great books are by a couple of our members, Kathy Love and Don Soderberg, read up as much as you can and fast!

If your female is too small she could become eggbound, and that is a whole other can of worms.
