    Temperature of Gravid snakes...
    Hey guys, I think I know the answer to this question, but wanted to throw it out there...
    I have my balls in a room that is getting way hotter than I thought it would, and this weekend I am going to run some AC to it (bad planning on my part).
    My question is, the temps have reached about 96F - 97F in that room. The snakes are in a vision rack. Is there any chance these eggs (in the gravid females) are going to be viable? Do the females have a way to regulate the eggs temp?
    Thanks

    They can regulate them only to temps YOU provide to them

    They're cold blooded after all

    Right, I realize that. That is why I am asking the question in that manner. Can they regulate it to any degree at all? and are my eggs for sure screwed, or is there any small hope? :-)
    Like I said, I'm not very optimistic...
