Incubation

[smeagel]

I'm new at this and i need all the information i can get. Is it better to incubate the eggs yourself or can you just let it happen naturally? I have herd of people doing both, so which way is better, or is either way good. I don't know if it matters but i have ball pythons and i'm jus getting ready for breeding this winter. Any and all advice is greatly appreciated.

I have ZERO experience breeding Ball Pythons but thats why I feel using an incubator would be best, at least for your first breeding. This way, the eggs and their temps/humidity is entirely controlled by YOU. I have read about many people who allow the female to do it successfully but these people have been doing this a long time, and know their females and habits.

By removing the female from the equation, you automatically have one less problem to worry about which IMHO is good news for first timers like us.
