Need HELP with Maternal incubation

[pt377]

Ok,So I don't have the money or time to do incubation, So I'm doing maternal incubation (letting Mommy take care of her eggs).

So I have a tube set up with some peed moss and the humidity is around 80%+. I have a mister over the top of it to rise it if it gets low. tank temp around 80-90 in the day, Night about 60-70.

So my questions are: Am I using the right kind of moss? Is humidity right? is my temp right? and is there any thing I should know?

Btw don't try and talk me into incubation, its to late eggs are coming SOOOOOOOOOOON!!!!!!!!!!!! thats why I'm asking if Im doing it right cause this is my 1st set.

If you don't have the money or time, how are you going to care for and house the resulting babies?

OK let me just say sorry that I did not go into my personal life for you. I didn't have a tank for my male and now I do. Come to find out shes prego. Next shes not the only thing prego! my wife is also (with our 1st child). Next the snakes are at my parents house cause I dont have a place for them since I'm in the middle of moving and trying to find a place to live for my family. The eggs and my little girl are do about the same time and right now being a FULL TIME student and FULL TIME worker I dont have the time to run to my parnets house and check on every thing every day. Thanks for the help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you did not read the eggs are not here yet I WAS asking for help SO THANKS FOR NOT HELPING ME. So maybe next time you should say " you should keep the temps up around 80-90 24/7" but no I ask for help and every one wants to treat me like crap thanks!!!

Relax..

Take a deep breath.

The temps should be at 90 on the hot side all the time. Ambient temps should be at least 84.

Make sure there is plenty of water.. Make sure the humidity in your setup is high.

And try to get an incubator when you can. It is just better for the eggs that way.
