About 3 weeks on the money from pre-lay shed. My unknown female X Python Pete 75% diamond male. Should be somewhat striking. My inclination is to let her do the job....I have the incubator set up, just not sure if I should "upset the apple cart"

2 quick pics of her and one of dad.

Wow! Congrats there sir! Those animals and eggs look terrific. Nice work.

thx albert

now time will tell if i made the right call on maternal incubation or not

Albert Clark · 03-15-16, 08:19 AM

Well, I think the main thing with maternal incubation is ensuring the humidity. Looking forward to your success! Congrats again .

Congrats on the eggs M. Best wishes for a big healthy clutch.

Thanks man!!! I pulled them from mom tonight and put into incubator. I feel like a baby thief! She just kept looking around for her eggs. Ugh! However, 18 nice little plump eggs and no slugs

Fingers crossed for a good hatch.
Time will tell.

Awesome!! Congrats!

macandchz · 03-16-16, 09:20 AM

congrats! do you know how many eggs are there? do all the eggs usually hatch?

Humble308 · 03-16-16, 09:35 AM

Very cool, I bet that's super exciting. When are they expected to hatch out? Letting any go

?

@macandchz: there are 18, none appear to be slugs. i am hopeful that they will all hatch, but again, time will tell.

@Humble308: theoretically, 55-60ish days. so, like around May 12? and yes, i'll be letting them go. i have another girl that is gravid and hopefully will drop her eggs in a few weeks.
