As someone who has some experience breeding other pythons in the past, (Irian Jaya carpet Pythons, Childrens Pythons, Austrailian Brown Water Pythons Pythons, Olive Pythons, just to name a few), It gets a whole lot worse when you have eggs hatching out. I to had to step away for a while due to life. but i am right back in it like i didn't miss a beat, even woke up to hit the dry erase board we have in the room to write down idea's i had while a sleep, LOL.
