    What about temperature? I keep reading 90 degrees or something close to that.

    That's wild! An Easter miracle!

    If they're fertile, we expect a progression thread, please.

    That's fine. Just keep it as steady as possible and mom will regulate the clutch.

    I suggest adding some moss to keep humidity up.

    You should check out the Maternal Incubation thread. It is stickied in the Breeding Sub-forum.

    I agree with Nikki, or maybe someone near you has room in their incubator?

    Oh my gosh! I didn't know ball pythons could be asexual! So would the babies have the same markings as mom? Pleas keep us updated, this is just too cool! Hope they are fertile, some pics would be cool ;)

    Ball pythons aren't asexual. This clutch likely happened due to parthenogenisis, as mentioned earlier in the thread.

    amazing :)

    pictures would be helpful!


    edit: oh, and about candling... just do it at night, have the room completely dark, and one small flashlight. then you check out where the female is using the flashlight, and when you get a chance, just put the flashlight up against one egg. then you should be able to see something.

    edit 2: video of candling eggs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s2MuZBMGdJA
