    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

so my anery locked up with my sunglow motley a few weeks ago, and she laid 25 plump, white eggs last night. this is my first clutch of corn eggs. I put them in a tupperware square shaped container, with a mix of vermiculite with a little bit of peat moss. i put them in my hovabator with my dragon eggs, which is set at 82-83 degrees. the corn eggs sat higher up then where the thermometer was, and this morning I checked the eggs and they are pretty dented in, and i put the thermometer up where they were and it was exactly 90 degrees. they were only in there for not even 12 hours before I found them. they are still nice and white, but pretty dented in. I put them in a shoebox container, no vents and put some damp peat around the clump of eggs. anyone have any advice, or are they cooked?? Ive been so excited for this and now I feel sick about it!!
 
I wish I would have never put them in the incubator...usually it is 85-86 for the dragon eggs, but I turned it down to put the corn eggs in. I am still hoping they pull out of it...
 
yeah, room temperature works well for me too. i just keep them in the warmest room in the house and move them to the coolest room on days when temps spike into the triple digits.

last year all my eggs hatched out between 72-86 days using this method.

I incubate Cornsnake eggs at 85 and they hatch at 55-60 days. You would have been fine. The "room temperature" method extends incubation time and you won't have as much control.

A brief stint at 90 degrees won't hurt them. In nature, incubation temps will fluctuate. Please a damp (not soggy) paper towel over the eggs to help them plump back up. In my experience, Cornsnake eggs don't retain their plumpness very well on their own regardless of incubation medium. I always have to place a damp paper towel over them.

BTW, congrats on the eggs. I'm still waiting impatiently for all of mine.
 
thanks guys!! at least half of the eggs still look nice and fertile. the ones that were toward the top of the incubator are still pretty dented in...Its been a few days so im beginning to lose hope in them. I know if my bearded eggs are dented in at all, i add some moisture and the next day they're plump again...hopefully they still plump up
