surpise ! my BP laid eggs I've never done this

Hi,

The rookie needs to be very careful with no holes. More than one rookie has suffocated their unborn snakes because they didn't give the eggs fresh air later in incubation. BG suggests at least one small hole for all rookies. BG uses two himself all the time, but he knows many that use none. BG just doesn't want to risk suffocation.

That honestly never occured to me.

I can't leave the poor things alone long enough for it to be a problem.

Between candling and checking for changes the poor things will probably come out hating the sight of me.

Day 48 and twitching.

i found placing a wet ( not soaking wet) but damp paper towel on the eggs will help a little, since the towel will wick up mositure and the eggs can asorb some from the towel. another trick I use ( takes a few days to do this ) was place a heating pad on low under the hobuvator and have the mixure wet (with a light disffure on top to prevent the eggs from making direct contact with the wet verm) this produces a lot more humidtiy for me. I had ot tilt the lid at an angle to keep the condisation off the eggs ( reason I place a paper towel on top and check it often ) I also had to add water every so often ot keep it from drying out. ( right now I got mine set up on the desk and it run dry 3 times in the last 2 months while waiting for the eggs to be laid this year.

That's why Big Gunns is paid the big money to be here.

Sorry....BG forgot where he was. This is BG's court ordered community service snake forum. A word of advice to all BG fans. When a leeetle cop that was picked on his whole life by people like Big Gunns pulls you over and gives you a ticket. Don't tell him he looks like r2d2 with a badge, gun and a hat.
