You DONT need an incubator for corn snake eggs.
I have a male and female that I have raised from babies, and I have raised eggs from them the past 4 years...
All you have to do is :
Get a plastic container (shoebox size... the eggs WILL grow you need space for them without touching) With a loose fitting lid. Get some vermiculite (non fertilized stuff) and wet it down so that its moist and when you clump it with your hand it doesnt drip water.
Then, make sure you keep the "up" side of the eggs up (the embryo is laid so that it attaches to the top of the egg... if you lay the egg with the embryo down, it will suffocate.. ALSO you may have to candle them to see where the embryo is just in case), and transfer to your shoebox. Arrange so that the eggs are about an inch apart on all sides.
Put a damp paper towel on top, place lid on loosely, and put it above your refrigerator. Keep the whole thing moist enough that the paper towel stays wet from ambient humidity, and you should have baby snakes in 2 or 3 months.
