Ken, can I ask what your incubating temps are? - we are incubating at 82-84f, which, according to The Corn Snake Manual, means we should have hatchlings in 52-59 days, however 85f results in a later hatching date, and a fluctuation between 70-90f results in hatching around 69-80 days.
We've found temps of 82-84f have given us hatching after 46-54 days, with higher temps resulting in quicker hatching and lower temps making the process slower. Be interesting to note how the corns go..
As for the hatchlings from this pair apparently after some discussion we will have amels het. motley het. creamsicle, which must be classed as hybrids because of the creamsicle influence, which is the result of an amel and a rat snake cross. Phew these genetics confuse me greatly! I think I'll just wait and see what pops out

We have ours incubating at 80. According to our herpatologist friend a lower temp will require a longer incubation time but a larger, healthier neo. He estimated 60 days at 80 and we are at 55. As far as what to expect,,,like Merlin said with all the cross breading and new morphs you just don't know. Both the parents are Okeetee's with the male a very high orange so we are assuming they will all be Okee's....but you never know !!

Yep the lower temps are supposed to mean longer incubation time but stronger and larger babies.. good luck with your little ones, can't wait to see them! How many are you expecting?
(Hmm, after inspecting the adult corns, if Arrow can get 9 out, what are we going to get from them?! )

LOL,,,the adults should give you anywhere from 15-25. We are expecting 17. She laid 20 with 2 slugs. While removing the 2 slugs we damaged 1 of the good ones. We did get to disect the 1 good one and got to see the snake embryo. It was about 3/4 of an inch long and looked like white thread with a red stripe. It actually moved for a few seconds, quite a learning experience !!!
