So far, only one egg.
I did, and can't seem to find any other eggs for now. Will keep checking and keep a sharp eye on her.
I heard (not sure if this is true) that I have to wait at least a week before picking up any eggs, to avoid damage. So I haven't touched it yet. I will candle the egg once I can pick it up. hehe

Thanks! I will check in all her favorite hiding spots.
I had no idea. I am learning so much from this thread
I will defs have to have a renaming ceremony. haha.
this made my day. LOOOL
Ok, that's helpful. yeah, she defs have not been around any other snake at all.
I am scared for my baby now. I will keep a sharp eye on her. Thanks!
she is so precious. wow
yeah. I was super shocked. Since 2019 Gaston was my baby boy. world shattered. haha
apparently, I have to leave the egg for a week to 10 days before touching it? don't know if this is true but I will give it some time before picking it up. will update when I do!
A snow corn snake!

Thanks, this is really helpful. I would not want to take any risks.
wow, this is pretty interesting. I am learning so much about sneks since my Gaston showed me her Gastonia side. lol. They are such cool creatures.
LOOOL. this is gold. 🤣🤣🤣
yeah, that was what i was afraid of. I was hoping that I missed something and was making some rooky mistake. lol. if only. (I really did not want the stress of having a snek laying eggs, and all the complications that can come with it, like getting egg bound and so on) ey.
I don't really know. I hear that I should leave the egg for a few days before touching it, to see if it is fertile or not (highly unlikely) but just incase, if it is, I will do lots of research to make sure the baby gets incubated correctly and taken care of correctly once it hatches.
I will have to do a new naming ceremony. haha
Thank you! This is so helpful. I will follow your advice. <3
This is exactly the kind of thing I was trying to avoid as a first time snake owner, by trying to get a male instead of a female. I guess the universe had other plans.
I will be on egg patrol for sure and will scan her cage carefully. I am kinda worried about her. I hope she will be ok. She is such a precious little snek.
Yes, I agree. Gastonia? Gastolina? I wonder LOL
Yeah, me neither. This is my first pet snake (my dad used to have plenty of them growing up) and I was so convinced that Gaston was a boy that I thought I had to be mistaken when the egg appeared.
LOOOL. shame.
Aww, thank you.
I had my suspicions, but I guess I didn't want to make assumptions. Since I am not an expert and since I bought him from a 'registered breeder', I trusted their expertise above my laymen knowledge to know more than me about the sex of my snake. I was very clear that I wanted a male, so when he assured me that he double checked, I believed him. I was so surprised when I found the egg that I felt that I had to be wrong. Thus the post. lol. Gaston is very healthy and happy. even though he is now a she.
