Very good question LadyOhh! In my research - books and in this forum, the #1 disadvantage to maternal incubation is that the mamma snake uses tons of energy and use up tons of fat to incubate and end up losing up to 1/3 of her weight in the process.

I was reading this one thread here (if I find the thread, I'll post it, right now I can't seem to find it) that was linked by other threads about maternal incubation and how she tried to feed mamma snake but she won't eat. So, I figured to try to feed my mamma snake too while I was moving her to a better "egg environment". And she ate... so I figured to just keep her 10-day feeding schedule that she has been on for the past year.

But, it seems like that is not the right route, so I'm going to just keep my every-3-day watering schedule and that's it.... for the next FIFTY-ONE days! I still can't believe how far away that is!

I got the make-shift cooler-turned-incubator just in case.
