incubation

[rubenjames]

what are the chances of successfully hatching a clutch without an incubator only allowing the female bp to incubate?

[llovelace]

As long as the temps and humidity are within a good range, your chances are good for a successful hatch rate.

It's a risk for some, but it's done successfully often. I'd talk to Quit Tempest for more detailed info, here's a thread she wrote up on maternal incubation.

what should the temp and humidity be at to pull something like this off,is there a certain kind of bedding to use?

[RestlessRobie]

I would look up the posts by uiet Tempest he has posted several threads about this subject and has had lots of luck with Maternal Incubation

thank you all again the last forum i was on the members weren't even half as informative and helpful as you all are

It can be done, but look over your current set up and make sure that the humidity levels and temperature is optimal for ball pythons. If you have trouble maintaining either for whatever reason, it might be easier to go with an artificial incubator. If everything checks out, I'd say you could give it a go but understand that if you go this route, you're going to have to take a backseat and let the mom do all the work. Provide for her and she'll provide for the eggs. Good luck, which ever method you decide to use.
