Abstract: The gray rat snake, Pty as korros ( Colubridae) , is a kind of popular oviparous snake in the south- ern provinces of China. Herein, w e established an experimental protocol using the gray rat e snake as the ( 1) , , (2) animal model to examine influence of temperature on hatching success hatching time influence of temperat ure on hatchling trait s, ( 3) influence of temperat ure on embryonic use of energy and material. In early July 1999, w e collect ed 11 gravid fem ales from a private peddler at Jiande county , Zhejiang province, east China. T he females w ere brought t o our laboratory in Hangzhou Normal College, where 12 505050 3 - 28 they w ere randomly assigned to a cm w ire cage placed in an air condit ioned room at 30 . Food (frogs) and water were provided libitum. The animals begin to lay eggs a few days after their arrival. Cages were checked for a m inimum of six times daily for t he
