need help Ball python has eggs!!!

I agree. Pictures would help. I think it always easier to give advice on how to change things, or keep them the same if we can see it. You should try to keep the temps a little more consistant than +/- 5 degrees. I try to keep it down to 1 degree. I'm kind of wierd though.

oh, now that all looks good. Don't go above 90 degrees for the eggs. 86-91 are the peramitors you want to look for. 86 is low and 91 is high.

so far its been a consistant 89 % how do you like the eggs looked , they are alittle deformed they are not big and full and firm , is that ok

Are you saying a constant 89 degrees? Or 89 percent humidity?

If you are saying 89 degrees, that is good. If it is 89% humidity, then the eggs should start to plump back up soon. I like to give my covered egg bins a little bit of a tilt to one end. That way, if there are drops of water forming on the lid, they will roll to one end and not drop directly on the eggs.

Good luck.:gj:

You'll need a hygrometer to measure the humidity. Most reptile supply stores sell thermometer/hygrometer combo packs, but you can find a better deal in other stores. I found mine near the lawn and garden section in Walmart.
