What am I looking at for incubation duration

[marisa]

I have the eggs at a constant 83.7F

How many days do you guys think? I am totally unsure as last year I used the "warm shelf" method and it took 87 days!!! :P I am sure things will go MUCH faster this time.

I only have one clutch to compare with but my eggs hatched 54 days after laying.

I also used the ambient heat in the snake room to incubate, instead of a shelf I used a rubbermaid with perlite inside a drawer. I had a digital thermometer in the incubation box the whole time and the temps ranged from 83 - 87 degrees.

Most of the time it was on the high end of that (85 - 86), which I realize is a little higher than reccomended but it was close enough that I didn't want to mess with the setting on my space heater. I guess it all went well because now I have 12 busy little snakes.

Good luck, I'm sure they'll be awesome whenever they hatch out.

Thanks.

Nice quick incubation you had using the warm room method! My room is a bit cooler than yours which would explain my 87 days of waiting last year! HAHA :P

I am going to keep them up at 83.7 and hopefully I'll see some heads by day 50-55
