I had very good success with cutting the eggs. I have cut many ball python eggs and thought I would give it a shot. Toward the end of the season when temps outside here in Texas got cooler we had a 100% hatch rate. The first three or four months even at room temp in our house I think the eggs were getting to hot. My house can reach low 80's on a 100+ degree day in the summer. I only cut 8 eggs out of 20. Those eight eggs all survived and started eating quickly. I cut right on 60 days when the temps were on the higher end. I waited 75 days when the temps started getting cooler. Those eggs probably would of hached on there own if I would of waited. I still have one clutch of eggs to hatch. My males and females have been seperated for months now and no females have laid eggs for two months. I will not start breeding again till late Feb. or Mar. So we ended up with 28 babies aout of 58 eggs.

Does anyone know of an incubatror that can heat and cool to maintain a temp? My problem here in Texas is keeping the eggs cooled and out oh the 80 degree range.
