Egg Incubation Set-up

[Shewter325]

Hey so i have read from a lot of other posts that people like to separate the Ball Python eggs from the substrate. I was wondering what you can use to do this? And where could a person buy this mysterious material?

Egg Crates can be used to lift your eggs off of saturated substrate. Most hardware stores (Home Depot) will have plastic egg crates in the lighting section.

Here is a link about substrateless incubation:

A lot of people use a light defuser/egg crate, you can buy it at your local hardware store.

I used egg crates/light defusers from home depot I also go I chunk of 1 inch pvc and cut it into 1 inch lengths. Then I used a hot glue gun to hold the pipe in place. Use 5 pieces in a X pattern so the crate doesnt sag and sink into the medium.

For substrateless method you will need

A medium: Perlite, Vermiculite or anything else retaining water (I do not recommend water alone as it will slosh around)
A tub 6 or 7 quart can easily contain 8 eggs
Light diffuser which can be bought at lowes or home depot.

Thank you so much that is exactly what I was looking for I also have a female who has retained one egg that she hasn't laid yet and I haven't been able to find anyone who can tell me what to do...

How long has it been since she laid? You can try to manipulate the egg out by massaging her, however if it does not work I will have to seek a vet so the egg can be aspired, otherwise if left in place your female can go septic and die.
