My first clutch of ball python eggs.
I bred my pastel(f) to my lemonblast(m) and finally got 5 really plump eggs! They looked really good when I used flashlight on them. I felt like i was waiting forever to get these, I thought she reabsorbed her eggs. Then I go away for the weekend and come home to these beauties. I was shocked.
I just finished my DIY incubator, check it out here

I agree... hot air rises... use a row of water bottles in the bottom if you can the water will warm up and hold temps for a while if anything goes wrong like a power failure.add a shelf on top and dest the egg box on it.

Thanks! He looks better as he ages. I did mark the eggs so I know where the top is, I read they form an air bubble there.

This might be a stupid question, but are the black marks on the eggs just so you know if they roll over or something, or do they have some other significance?
Thanks, I watched your video. Looks like my heat tape wont have to do as much work then.

I would also add more water bottles if you are going to leave the flexwatt on the side. It will help even out the temps, and it will help keep the temp stable for a lot longer during a power outage.
They are pretty hefty, I didn't weight them though.

I have perfect temps in the incubator and the egg tub with the probe on the heat tape.
Re: My first clutch of ball python eggs.
Thank you, I am really excited to see the rest!

I know! I hope it's a female, if so I am keeping her. I don't own any normals but that one looks great and I produced it!
Re: My first clutch of ball python eggs.
Sorry for your loss.
I don't know why you lost the normal but if they are healthy you shouldn't need to panic yet. We had four in this last clutch that wouldn't eat. Went three tries with live rat pups, then three tries with mouse hoppers. One took to the mouse hoppers on the first try so we had three that still weren't eating after 6 attempts. Force fed the three after the 7th week. I mean literally pushing the food item into their throat. After that they all assist fed pretty easily and still are, which is about 5 times each now. However, I think they are about to kick in any time as each time we attempt to feed, they seem a little more ready to strike on their own. Be patient and best of luck to you.
