Pastel Butter x Spider (Maternal Incubation)

[FireStorm]

I have read somewhere that ball pythons aren't able to raise their temperature with thermogenesis like other pythons are.

But the temperature of the eggs is fine right now. Up at 87.5-88.5 last time I checked.

I have found papers saying that they can, and papers saying that they can't.....I have also found papers that say that carpets and diamonds can't/don't use shivering shivering thermogenesis, but I have seen videos of them doing it. There are even some old papers that say ball pythons will not maternally incubate. So I think there is some really bad info out there...I have been trying to figure out how I could get my females to keep a thermometer probe in with the eggs. I would like to log the temp range of the eggs. Since we use only ambient heat, I am curious if the females are actually maintaining the egg temp above the ambient.
