    Are my eggs good?
    All my 6 eggs are fertile. I am unsure of what is going on with them. I have had my two ball pythons for 8 years and they have both lived in the same tank for 6 years. They just now decided to have babies. Surprise to me! I didn't even know that my female was pregnant. I just thought she was getting bigger because she was eating rats more often (she loves mice). Long story short, I went to feed them and lifted thier hidebox and noticed 6 eggs. I went back to the store and got an incubator and substrate for them. I also got two bowls and put warm water in them and set them in the incubator. All eggs are stuck to each other. When I removed the eggs (none of the parents where around) I picked them up and put them down the same way. Humidity is 80% and Temp is 88F. One of the eggs started to sink in a little. A couple of them look clear as if they are really wet. Now I noticed (5 days after putting them in the incubator) they they are starting to get yellow. I lift the lid to the incubator once a day, and that is for when I change out the water and mist it. I mist the sponge that was provided for the incubator, and I must the substrate. I do not mist the eggs. Again, all eggs are fertile. Am I doing anything wrong? I recently posted pictures of my eggs. Idk how to post them on the thread. Just got this account. Thank you for your advice and help.

    The eggs should be in an eggs box as air tight as possible with the substrate of your choice and humidity should be as close possible to 100% (there are several thread on how to setup an egg box). Once set do not mess with the eggs daily do not open the egg box (if you do the eggs will dry out and collapse too soon)

    Basically you set them up properly and forget about them for the next 60 days.

    You said when you removed the eggs the parents were not around. Was the female coiled around the clutch or were they left alone?
