This thread is entirely exhilarating! I have been looking for detailed logs of maternal incubation for quite some time. I entirely agree with you, I had watched a female have her clutch of 4 removed and the sheer panic that ensued tugged on my heart strings. Why take the eggs away from a committed mother? Besides watching and understanding the natural maternal incubation of the python you plan to breed and continue to breed (if you choose to commit to ball pythons) should be the first and for most step before creation of your own incubator and mass breeding. At least this is in my current approach...Green behind the ears I have purchased my first female cinny a few days ago too~ My plan is to pair her with my high gold male. I've bookmarked this thread for future reference. Would you mind if I asked a few questions though?
Currently your BPs are housed in a rack system, correct? Forgive me if this has been asked but what size are your tubs? Besides the cypress mulch and the water bowl there isn't anything else in the tubs? It seems simple. My tubs seem to have a failing humidity point however. I must mist it down several times a day to keep it up, I think it's possible that the lids I use are not tight enough to trap humidity. Are you using a DIY tub system? If not, what is it?
