Someone I know had some unexpected eggs. They told me their larger BP was acting weird and asked if I could look at it. From what they described and what I saw, she was gravid and about to lay. And about a week later she did. These came about from them housing two BPs together and were told they were both males. Though they both appeared to be normals, I offered to help and incubate and house the young for them until homes can be found and they can keep what they want since they were their eggs. Her son wants to watch them incubate and hatch at there house, but I don't want to lend out my incubator with the Herpstat on it, especially for 2 months when I could very well need it in that amount of time.
So I directed her to this site and to check out he stickies on maternal incubation. And how to make an incubator.

The biggest question is, now she is wondering about splitting the clutch. So that half go with me to put in my incubator and the other half leave with the female. I've never heard of that being done and was curious if that's even feasible, and that's counting on the eggs seperating since they were laid yesterday.

The simplest solution with the least headache, would be for me to incubate the eggs, let them know when they start to pip so they can see the hatching process. I set up the baby rack and get them feeding. Since I don't think she is really wanting to or prepared to handle 8 or so hatchlings either.

In going to go over and check them out tomorrow evening and see how they are set up and come up with a better plan then.

Thanks for all the help,
Kyle
