    New to this!!

    I have two gravid females who are coming up on their lay date fast. We're trying to find suitable ways to build hide boxes that they can not only lay in but also incubate their eggs on their own. We know we need moss and we know the temps the tanks need to stay at. We just need help with ideas for the hides and how to regulate temps and humidity in 55gal tanks.

    I've seen these used:

    There are several sizes and the top can be removed to view the eggs/snake. Hope this helps.

    I moved this to the breeding section. There are a few people that have let the mother incubate the eggs. It's not easy. I've never heard about letting them incubate the eggs in a tank though.
