OMG they hatched.

When my corn snake Seraphim finally healed up from his injury several months ago, I put him back in the tank with Asherah. He was so happy to see her and followed her all over the cage. Before long, Asherah laid eggs. I didn't think much of it, since she's done that twice before with no results. This time, instead of taking all the steps recommended in reptile books for hatching snakes, I just left them alone. Seraphim and Asherah wrapped around the clutch nonstop, only coming out to eat. I checked under their hide rock a couple of times, and the eggs didn't seem to be spoiling, so I just left them alone. Then today I looked, and there were two little wrigglers. One looks just like Asherah, and the other looks just like Seraphim. Hoo boy. I didn't think they'd hatch. But that's what many eggs tend to do, come to think of it, so I suppose I should have expected it.
