Update on Fluffy's clutch + pics

Ummm.... How do you increase the humidity once it's 100%?

As for temps, do you offer a temperature gradient normally? There is typically a cool and warm side of the tank, to allow for this natural regulation.

I hope this coming across ok, as I am curious about the reasons for going this route. I hope your eggs do ok, I hear they are pretty hardy so best of luck to you.

Ok it can't go higher than 100 I guess, but you get my point.

And yes, one side is warmer than the other seeing as the UTH is on one side, and when I put a heat lamp on it is over that side also. She is coiled in the middle of the cage, though.

And it's okay, I know a lot of people don't go the maternal incubation route for ball pythons... but for some reason I felt inclined to leave them in there even after spending quite a bit of money on an incubator and preparing it for these eggs...

Good Luck with the eggs... and remember to send one of the hatchlings over here !

Day 9: One of the eggs seems to have a small brown spot on it. I'm not sure if that is new or not. I noticed that today and yesterday the ambient temperature in her tank hasn't been as high as is has gotten previously, so I thought about turning a heat lamp on again, but then I noticed that she has also migrated a few inches to the left, toward the warm end of the tank, so I'm going to leave her be for now. The eggs are still holding their shape, and don't seem to be stuck to each other, either...

I candled 4 out of 5 eggs last night, and they all glowed red and had nice big veins running through them...

That is so neat; does she leave them and then return and resume incubating? I always thought they just sat there for the duration of incubation.
She is quite a looker; I love the ones with little to no spots.

I have yet to see her leave the eggs, but she has moved herself and the eggs over a little bit toward the warmer side of the tank.
