This was my first clutch, and I incubated. I got 8 out of 9 eggs hatched and thought it was just as cool to watch as I think maternal would have been. I like the incubator cause you can keep a close eye on them and watch them every minute of the day if thats your choiceWith maternal incubation, I have read that you have to keep the humidity very high and the temp just right. Now I dont know what kind of set up you might have, but in my tank, that would be nearly impossible. My snakes are very happy in their environment with the humidity they have, but there is no way I could keep the humidity up in the 80's living in Las Vegas. So I guess it also depends on where you live. For me, incubation was the way to go. Good luck
