How do I incubate my cornsnake eggs?

I looked in my snakes tank yesterday, and my female corn snake had laid eggs. I don‘t know what to do, I haven‘t done anything with them yet. But I would really like to know what to do so they dont die.

Answer:

U first need to candle with a flash light like u wld do chicken eggs n make sure they r fertile, u will need vermiculite which u can get at most gardening places or lowes has it I believe, u mix tht with water n u want it to where it's wet but u cnt squeeze any water out. Do NOT flip the eggs. Keep them up right or u will kill the babies. If they have hardened already carefully pick the cluster up. Don't worry abt seperating them. Put the vermic n a container big enough to hold the eggs n make a divit in it where u r gnna place the eggs. Cover it with a lid n if u do not have an incubator u need to put them n a very warm constant temp room. Most colubrids don't need high egg heat n I know people tht jst leave all the eggs n a room n they hatch tht way. I wld google the exact temp they need to b at as I have ball pythons n am not sure of colubrids temps for eggs. Mama may bite u so b careful. Again remember do not let the eggs turn or flip. They have to stay n there exact upright position.
