I'm afraid your ratsnake eggs are already dead. You should have found them sooner. When you have a gravid female you should supply her with a nest box filled with moistened vermiculite and sphagnum moss. She'll lay her eggs in there and you can retrieve them in good condition. If you suspect you have a gravid female you should check them everyday. I hatched some leucistic/type 2 albino texas rats again this year. I'll post pics soon on my website www.radioactivereptiles.com
Thanks, John

I did not know she was gravid at all. I just found them in the cage when I was about to feed them this week. So I would not be suprised if the snakes are dead unfortanily.

Phillip, those are some nice looking Babies “ Congratulations “. I truly hope they all grow to be Healthy Adults, be sure and watch your hands around those little worms. Remember, Baby Coppers can be a Hand Full of Dynamite. They are not one of our more Dangerous Species, but they are still Toxic and a Bite would Hurt Very Bad. Be careful, stay safe and always watch their movements “ this could be your ticket to learning more about Copperhead Behavior”. Good luck.............................................Be safe ya’ll, Happy Herping : Wally

I know what you mean wally and that is why I only use long forceps to move them since that is the safest to move them and I use as little pressure as possible so I won't hurt the snake.
