Eggs Time Lapse - 68 days Incubation
5 Minute Time Lapse - Incubating Ball Python Eggs - Start to Finish. Enjoy!
Temp swings are due to constant heat output of camera, LED lighting, and Heat Wave conditions in my area 90F+ July/August...I had to maintain temps around 85F to compensate.
7 Eggs
4 Hatched Clean (pictured in video)
1 Slow to hatch (not pictured)
1 Underdeveloped - Attempting to Salvage - WIP
1 DOA - Failure to develop

Voila ... 5 perfect HC Albino babies
Sweet!
I started out relying on maternal incubation (over a decade ago), but, when I had to incubate roll-outs I figured I might as well just incubate the entire clutch anyway so I could bring the female back up to condition.

Well mine was an unintended pregnancy...
It turns out my reasoning was flawed ..
I decided to house the two Albinos together in the huge viv when we went on holiday to Florida .. my thinking was they’re not that active or particularly bothered about eating sooooo they probably won’t be up for nooky

This is awesome, thanks for sharing.

Beautiful clutch and really cool video, thank you for posting this! I've never seen the process of how BPs start to slit their eggs open so that was fascinating. You could see them slicing away in there! So cute how they all kind of huddle together on top of each other after hatching as well.

Always fun to see snakes popping out like Jack-in-the-Boxes. Thanks for sharing that...it's really nice "work".
Also answers the newbie question "will the snake be o.k. in that crumpled egg?" & hopefully teaches them to be patient & wait (not to cut open!).

the pairing was Super Black Pastel Spider x Black Pastel Or Super Black Head Spider x Black Pastel? i ask b/c of the temp swings and the resulting hatching issues.
if the pairing were the former, i would not have filmed or done this experiment at all. not w/ this clutch. i would not have added the variable and risk of the camera and lights' extra heat output knowing that 8-Ball complex clutches are more prone to birth defects. i would try to keep this clutch in an environment as undisturbed as possible. does your incubator have a fan?

Zincubus! you have been a snake and reptile keeper for far too long and should know not to keep 2 together, no matter the size of the enclosure. i'm glad it turned out well but your reasoning was major n00b behavior.

It’s the first time I’ve had two together
As I said it was just for convenience..they weren’t very active , weren’t over bothered about eating so I didn’t think they’re get jiggy
