    Its never to late to try to incubate the eggs... But do you have an incubator? Also, you will probably be told numerous times in this thread you should be keeping your BPs individually, not together. If you have an incubator, get the eggs in there. You could try letting the mother incubate them, but you will DEFINATELY want to seperate the snakes if you're doing that.

    Most of the farm stores have incubators for about $45. I would go and get one of them. If you let her do the work you will want to make sure the humidity and temps are right because bp's don't thermo regulate their egg temps like other pythons do.

    No leave her be. Is there a heat pad under the side she is at? If so you might want to do that tub and vermuclite thing you were talking about. I would be worried that it might get to hot.

    right now 2 of the top eggs are alittle indented do think it might be the lack of humidity , i have one of those cheap stick on thermostat that reads the temp it seems low . plus i have a air conditioner next to the tank , , i did call the farm store , they have a incubator called the little giant , do i need to put the eggs in a small rubber maid sealed container with vermiculite

    Yes use a container or you will fight to keep the humidity up.

    Yeah, I would let her do it on her own. Good luck! Even if they were to males, that's an even better reason to keep them seperate. They can fight. I would make sure to seperate after this. You can even just divide the cage to make it easier.

    Where is the male now?

    No they probably need humidity. If you have an airconditioner near the tank I would definatly get the incubator. When did she lay them?
