Incubating the eggs.

I was just wondering, how come everyone takes the eggs out of the mother's tank when she lays them? How come you can't leave the eggs with her until they hatch?

Do a search on "incubation", this topic has been beat to death more than few times.

If you leave th eggs with her, she'll sit on em' till they hatch-which means she wont eat, and won't have a chance to regain her strength and lost weight. Also, the temps and humidity are better controlled in an incubator. Why leave her sit, when she could be eatin, drinkin, and doin what snakes do when they're not egg sittin'......
