Never Thought This Would Happen...

Four words: My snake laid eggs. Not chicken eggs, Not lizard eggs, but nice, oval, infertile snake eggs. "Why did you think she was a he?" you ask. Well, for one, I thought and hoped she was a he, but that does not make any difference. Also, I have a snake book, and it said one way to know is to count the subcaudal scales (the scales beneath the tail) from the vent to where the tail starts to get narrower. It says that male corn snakes have 7-12 subcaudal scales between the two points and females have 2-4. you might not understand what I just said, but if you look it up in Google you will probably find out. There are many other reasons but I will not state them today. I found out two days ago and I started a blog yesterday but the computer messed up and erased it. She is still in the same place but not in the same position. She is in the way of me getting the rest of the eggs and does not want to be touched. Oh well.
