Four grass snakes found in Cornwall are hatched in a yogurt maker.
A family from Cornwall has hatched four grass snakes in a yogurt maker after finding eggs in their garden.
Tim Fuge, from Tremar, near Liskeard, said he accidentally unearthed 10 eggs in his compost heap about six weeks ago. In an effort to save them, he then incubated them in a yoghurt maker and researched how to care for them with his son.They were incubated in a yogurt makerHe said the snakes were about the size of a pencil after they first hatched two days ago."It's been fun learning about it ... having to make sure we're keeping them the right temperature, the right humidity all the time, has been a really great experience.
He said: "Well done for saving the animals after accidentally disturbing them, but we don't recommend people do it because they are fragile and it's not a straightforward process."
