There's a different thread that Quiet Tempest posted (it might be on a different forum) on this same snake that mentioned her trying to feed the mamma. I can't find it though.

And here's an excerpt from a book showing the mamma snake eating while incubating:

... which was one of the sources of my initial idea to go with maternal incubation and try feeding at the same time.
I didn't realize that 2006 thread existed. I just finished reading the 20+ pages and some of the opinions there were a bit... well.. conflicting would be one word for it.. I love seeing images of brooding mothers, though, and eggs hatching within mother's coils is just awesome. Thanks for that link.

There are a few pics of females maternally incubating and maternally incubated eggs hatching on RC Reptiles' Collection page. I'm a sucker for those sorts of images. Figured I'd share the link with anyone else who enjoys them.
