Gorgeous snake!, you have any for sale? (these are addictive lol).Originally Posted by Brandon Osborne
We did maternal this past season with my IJ female. We set her up in a tub with a dry nest box and a large water bowl. The ambient temps were set a 84-85 so she didn't have to work too hard at keeping temps up. The cage was misted 1-3 times per week, or as needed. All eggs looked great up to the day they hatched and we were happy with a 7/9 hatch. She began feeding immediately after babies hatched and looks as good as ever.
These guys hatched around memorial day weekend and are growing like weeds.
Good luck.

how did you keep the temps up to 84-85 degrees in a tub that wouldve melted if you used a heat lamp? did you use heat tape? I dont know how to use that stuff can you explain to me how it works, where to get it from, and the cost? how long was the material incubation? I heard if eggs get touched by water droplets it kills the baby ..is this right or did i read that wrong from the place i seen it? can you explain that please. also when you misted the enclosure did you directly mist the mother and eggs or just the mother?
