Hi all,
I have had my corn snake for about 6 years, she’s a motley albino and she’s been an absolute angel!
Today, I came back from a weekend trip and as I was cleaning her tank and checking on her, I found 16 eggs.
I have no idea what to do - I was not planning on breeding her nor was I expecting parthenogenesis but some of the eggs show clear veins on the inside.
Any advice? Is there a way for me to find someone or some place local that would be willing to incubate? Or is it better/ethical to dispose of them??
Thank you in advance!!

If you’re concerned about incubating them yourself, you can freeze them and dispose of them after.
If you do have a local reptile shop you can call and ask if they’re interested. Some would take a chance and see what happens because they are usually in incubating a few sets of eggs themselves.
There is the one caution that partho eggs aren’t usually the strongest so the odds of them all coming to term are already a test. I don’t know if it’s as common as in other species but they aren’t always the easiest to work with as hatchlings and may have unseen issues.

Welcome to the forum! You can freeze them all if you’re not interested in hatching the fertile looking ones. Or you can try incubating them or find someone who wants to.
