    Eggs really need to be aired out daily their last week or so if they incubated in sealed egg boxes due to the additional heat build up in the final days.

    Hatchlings left to crawl around in an egg box for 4 days could be a problem as well ... they really need to be setup in an enclosure with clean fresh water after they hatch.

    And personally, I'm just a fan of checking on the adult animals every day to make sure there are no feces/urine in the water bowl ... to make sure the water bowl wasn't tipped and that the snake isn't sitting in a puddle of water ... and to clean the enclosure if it's soiled.

    Just my $.02.

    And that's why you're the man! You can read, read, read...but until you have the experience it really means nothing! I don't mind being put in my place, especially when its by someone that knows what they are talking about! I'll get there someday.

    Not like that at all Jason ... I was in the EXACT same spot you (and a lot of others on here) were one day ... I just try to help when I can ... feels good to be useful around here. ;)

    You're on the right path for sure bro!!! :sweeet:
