Question regarding baby Ball Python.

[Srrme]

Was it always in the tub or was it in the incubator for the time as it was hatching out?

I could have had problems coming out and becoming dry because it wasn't in the incubator. People tend to leave their snakes in the incubator until most or all has hatched out, or at least the ones that haven't fully emerged from the egg.

They weren't incubated at all. She left the 4 eggs with the mother snake (this wasn't an intentional breeding). She removed them once they started to emerge from the egg and put them in a tub on wet paper towels. She's been misting them religiously, so I'm not sure if drying out could have caused it, but what do I know.
