The substrate you would squeeze and only get a drop or two of water but a decent clumping of it. I literally didn't expect her to lay yet and was going to be out of town so my father had to take care of them for me. Any suggestions as to what I can do next year to not screw up like I did this year? Thanks Derek. By the way I really plan on getting some blackheads one day, but owning snakes is a hassle in college and I'm broke unfortunately so it will have to wait for now

Hey nick, yeah.....aspidities can be tough incubation. They're a little harder to figure out than Carpets, etc.

One thing I wish you would have done is get back to us about your setup before you had set em up. As soon as I saw the word "Havobator" (in your above post) I knew they didn't hatch.
Not enough air space/exchange inside those.... to hatch Woma eggs.

Next time....give me a shout before you set em up.

Yeah I literally had no time to set them up because they were laid the day I was leaving and I really should have gotten back to you guys sooner but they did die rather shortly after my original post, I do apologize for no update. Only two were left after a week and another week went by before they were all dead. I have never kept let alone bred any other snakes before these guys besides an occasional garder from the yard I'd keep for a week as a kid. These eggs are definitely no walk in the park like turtles or geckos I've hatched before. What's your incubation setup? Had the temperature right the humidity was too high and air exchange just wasn't enough I guess, hovabators are pretty low quality stuff as well.

Also I wasn't around for quite some time when I left so I had to rely on my dad who doesn't know much to look after them.

We'll get you dialed in....always next time.

Yes they lay one clutch per year.
