At what temperature did they incubate? How many days went by from when the eggs were laid until they hatched?
I know you can tell what their sex will be according to their incubation temps but the first two clutches were incubated in the rack in an "incubator box" on one of the open shelves.. we were really bad and didnt keep monitor on the temps (isnt that the horrible truth!) the temps flux from 87-90, I would need to do the math from the time they were laid to hatch to let you know how long they incubated for.. i think they were approx 5-6 days "Early" according to the calendar

thanks so much for all the nice comments!! We were very excited and proud, our plan was if we could keep them alive long enough to hatch we would have a better chance at actually successfully breeding ball pythons lol
If they were 5 days early for a 60 day incubation period my guess would be female. But at 87-90 degrees they would likely be male with closer to a 30 incubation period.

will be interesting to see what they come out to be lol... but then again, their temps werent spot on either. Im incubating the clutch I have now in the incubator and temps are 87.3-87.9 stable.
Just a word of caution. Most people want only one male with a group of females. If you are temperature sexing for all males you will have trouble getting rid of them and you will have to house them all separately so they won't kill each other. If you wanted females you would be incubating at around 80 degrees.
