Corn Snake [Eggs Hatched]

Elaphe Guttata guttata

Description:

Snake eggs have an appearance of "rubber", due to this, the snakes has one "Egg Tooth", which is a small lump that has the same shape of a tooth. Consisting of keratin, has the function of helping the output of the animal inside the egg. The name "Corn Snake" is a holdover from the days when southern farmers stored harvested ears of corn in a wood frame or log building called a crib. Rats and mice came to the corn crib to feed on the corn, and corn snakes came to feed on the rodents.

Habitat:

"Corn Snakes" are found throughout the southeastern and central United States.

This eggs belongs to a class at my college about "handling snakes". Of the "Serpentário de Furnas" ("Serpentarium of Furnas")
