Personaly i use hovabator incubators for both my ball python eggs and corn snake eggs.I have only heard of 1 person letting the female ball incubate the eggs,everyone else uses incubators.If you mist the tank you take a chance of getting the humidity to high and that can kill the eggs.Or you might not mist it enough and the low humidity will also cause the eggs to die off.In my opinion its less headaches using the incubators to hatch the eggs in.Originally Posted by PythonFan8
