News from Lab 8 Animal Care Group:  An exciting moment this week on Tuesday lunch time when speedy, our resident female corn snake, confirmed the suspicions of Oliver Brown, Dan Beatton and Freddy Lazell by laying an impressive 22 eggs in front of our very eyes.  She is now recovering and should be eating again in a week or two.  The eggs are now in an incubator, and at the moment it looks like 21 of them could hatch.  The due date for hatching is approximately July 13th, we’ll keep you informed.
