I am very interested in getting first hand experience into the benefits and dangers of breeding corn snakes.

As a breeder what has been your worst experience or best experience.

Will corn snakes eat other corn snakes? I have heard this before but never knew a breeder that this has happened to.

Is there a proper way to set up a females nesting and is the male kept with the female once she is gravid?

I've really only had good experiences breeding corns. The benefits are just producing young corns for trade/sell or new color morphs. The only real danger is breeding too young or at a low weight, as it could cause the female to become egg bound.

Corns normally don't eat other corns, if it happens it's mostly because they were feed together in the same cage and not separated, they wanted the same item and one was eaten by the other who swallowed slower.

Heres the line up of events in corn breeding.

1: the the snakes come out of butmation.
2: females shed and become ready to breed.
3: the snakes are placed together, with a hide box filled with moss for egg laying.
4: If you've seen them pairing or can feel eggs developing. You can remove the male.
5: females enter shed before laying.
6: females lay the egg.
7: you incubate the eggs.
8: feed the female well to regain any lost weight.
9: watch the female for a second clutch, even if the male was removed.
