Material for egg laying in american rats....

Posted by Stephen on April 28, 2002 at 11:42:38:

Hello, I have a pair of adult greenish rat snakes, and they were properly cooled and brought back out this season. BTW they are proven.
They have been introduced several times, and I have personally witnessed them copulating several times (once for about 3 hours).

The female just shed, so before long should be laying the eggs. I was wondering what type of material you suggest for the laying box, and where do you get this material??

Also, how long, approx after shed do they lay? How long do greenish rats take to hatch?
What temps would you suggest for incubating?

Thanks a bunch. I appreciate all your responses!!!
