: So, I wasn't expecting them. I have bred leopard geckos before and read in here for black rat snakes to put the eggs on damp vermiculite and keep them at about 82 degrees F. So I did that, just like the gecko eggs. But I am afraid that the water to vermiculite might be different then leos, and that it might be too moist or too dry. Also, she was guarding them and when I picked her up to get to them she held on a bit shaking them around. They are all pretty much stuck together...I don't know how to incubate them really...and can't find any online information about it...

: ...any help would be appreciated.

: Thanks,

Just put them in a container with damp vermiculite, at about 80-82*F. As long as there is high humidity and the eggs are not wet or completely buried, they should do ok. Good luck.
