*Reproduction – Corn snakes are oviparous and become sexually mature at approximately two years of age. Prior to reproduction they require a period of cooling. Egg-laying occurs about 30-40 days after mating. Incubated in moist vermiculite or peat and sand at 27-28°C, the eggs should pip in 56-62 days. Hatchlings typically emerge from their eggs 24 hours after pipping.
