Egg pics: from Mom to Incubator

Here goes. I fired up the incubator and had it stabilized beforehand.

First, a very defensive Mommers with her eggs! Godiva was pretty irate that I wanted to take her eggs, at first.

Carefully removed Mom without disturbing eggers.

Eggs in box :) I use "Lock-Lock" rubbermaid-like boxes whose lids lock airtight. Available at JcPenney :)

Mom? She had been off feed for awhile. So right after removing the eggs, I switched her substrate, offered her a rat..and whomp!

That's cool that she ate right away! I'd be hungry too though... :)

Totally cool! Thanks for sharing!

Sweet!! Nice momma you have there. I'm always happy when they eat straight away. Good luck with the eggs!

Cheers,
Kat

thats awesome good luck~!

Thanks :) I always worry when I see how "empty" the girls look after laying. But then again, imagining all of those big eggs inside a relatively small snake.. she's got to be more comfortable now ;)
