Re: corn snakes
Corn snakes usually breed in the spring from April to June. [35] Brumation (a light version of hibernation [36] ) is not required, but usually best breeding occurs after a brumation of 3 months at 55°F (12.8°C). [37] Corn snakes are oviparous, which means the embryos develop in the egg outside of the mother's womb. [38] During the first part of summer, females lay 3 to 40 eggs in rotting stumps, piles of decaying vegetation, or other locations where there is sufficient heat and humidity to incubate the eggs. Newborns hatch in 2 to 3 months, from July to September. [39]
