Up early this morning and we had a little surprise when we checked in Cyd's laying box. Eggs! 
Here's the first lot of pics will update with more as we go along:

Was it really that much of a surprise? What were you expecting if it wasn't eggs? 
Seriously though......... Congratulations. I look forward to following their progress.

Ohh all look good Lewy mate.
How did you get Cyd out though, do the females get protective? |

We've been expecting them every day since she had her pre lay shed... about two weeks ago... we were surprised because she finally laid them! Normally corn snakes lay from the first day after shedding to 2 weeks after.
She's laid about 15 so far not sure if there are anymore to come she's not left the box. The last few to come out are more pinky coloured, they go white after about 20 minutes.
Exciting stuff |

I think she's tired out after all the laying! She's still not left the box so there maybe a few more to come. She has been defensive for the last two weeks which is very unlike her, she's normally very placid.
I just lifted her gently out of the way while kaz took the eggs carefully.
Apparently the last few in the clutch can be infertile, these are the ones that look a bit pinky I think, but they have whitened off, so we've still got our fingers crossed.
