I am sorry quiet tempest but even the pictures you are showing to back your argument are showing more reasons why I would never even consider it. The rats you are feeding... Are they live? If so what if an egg was punctured during the strike or during the struggle? If you are feeding f/t why would you want the bacteria, urine, and feces of a rat that has been dead for months getting on the eggs? Clearly at least that much is happening. Not to mention the normal convulsions of a her swallowing the rat.. Don't think that can cause a kinked baby or at least a complication? Trust me, snakes in the wild do NOT eat WHILE coiled around the eggs!
I agree with you as far as wild ball pythons not just openly roaming the wild of Africa... But I assure you they have plenty more choices when picking Their nest then the 30 inch tub you provide... They only have two choices with you. The hot spot or the cold spot. That's it.
