I've been waiting for these for a while. Turns out there is 22 in total but three looks like they might be slugs.

Sweet deal my man! I was close. I guessed 20!

June 20th dude. Put 'em away and don't think about them.

:D

congrats! You must be super excited (duh! ;)). hehe :)

Congrates!!!! I was wondering, since the female coils around them to keep them warm, could you keep the eggs in there with her??? If not, would she try to bite you if you tried to move her from her nest??

[PoiSoNouS]

COOOL congrats ! Awesome ! :)

[Ian]

Reptilez she was actually quite good when I went to get her off the eggs. Once I got the first half of her off she just went on her way.

Congrats and good luck with them! :D

Pythons are generally excellent mothers, and can successfully incubate their own eggs if given the chance. You need to closely monitor all the conditions in the nesting box, however as she can only do so much. Complications such as scale rot can also result. Generally its easier to control all the factors in an incubator. Rob Carmichael uses both maternal incubation and artificial incubation for his ball pythons and has about an equal success rate.
