Crap got some unexpected eggs.

This must be a joke. BPs have to be 1,500g to breed. :rofl: Congrats on the eggs, and good luck with them.

Lol, hopefully this will be my first ever ball python egg to hatch so this one is pretty important to me. Even though this is not what I had in mind. For those out there that don't me I am rather new to ball pythons. The only snake I have successfully bred were burmese pythons but that was nearly 10 years ago. I have bred Jackson's chameleons in Hawaii and that was my introduction to the world of herpetoculture.

My plans were to take these 2006 females and breed them their third winter. I guess they had other plans. Here are some pics I got of my incubator setup. Tell me what you think. I know the temps are off but I just threw it together and it has yet to warm up. I am hating the Ranco, it's not proportional. A herpstat is on the way.

Believe me I have nothing against breeding a 1000 gram female ball python but I would never do that their second winter. I threw my temp-gun in there for scale. I am waiting for the temps to stabilize before I throw the eggs in there.

I wish jasballs was here such a great source of information!

Here is my favorite boy just for giggles.

That's crazy...Good Luck with them!

I was wrong not one was fertile. All THREE are!

Here is more goodness!

To be honest, I never did sex all these "girls". I have only popped hatchlings. I've always been under the assumption that older snakes should be probed instead and I want someone to show me in person before I try.

Do you guys think pro-exotics would even believe me 1 year later and try to compensate me if I do find the boy?

Well, looks like you got yourself set-up. Not sure what part of GA you are in, if you were close, I was going to offer to incubate them for you in my 'bator if you hadn't gotten anything hooked up.

Congrats on your clutch!

Wow thanks Robin, your too kind.

I wanted to thank everyone on this site for the abundance of information and support. I know a normal X normal isn't much of an accomplishment but hey it's my first. I know it's too early to celebrate but just the fact that I got some fertile eggs gives me a whole lot of confidence. I've got some great plans for this upcoming breeding season.:D

A special thanks too Heather Wong is due for her great thread on "How to Incubate Eggs." I had to peek at it again just to make sure I had everything right.

I scrubbed down my girls cage and top of her rack slot. Hopefully I can get her eating soon. Tomorrow I will palpate to see if everything came out ok. She was a little pissy today, thats the most I've been bitten by a ball in any 5 minute time frame.
