Good luck on taking that road less traveled.
It does amaze me that one of the main reasons we like to keep snakes because they have interesting behaviors. Then when we have a chance to actually witness and keep records on what is probably the most interesting behavior of all snakes, we go the safe route and set 'em up in an incubator. I understand not wanting to take the risk on a clutch of spider het lavender pied x het lavender pied, but why not do something a little different with a clutch of pastels or spiders?
It's funny how we keep something because of our interest in their behaviors, but then set them up in racks on newsprint, feed F/T, and incubate artificially.
Just imagine if everything goes good you'll have done something most BP "experts" have never done.
