Thats not true, everyone that i have talked to that has done Maternal breeding has had a 200% hatch rate, i think Rapture did it too. Im planing on doing ONLY maternal breeding, ball pythons are just fine incubating their own eggs.

Sorry for the rant, the whole maternal thing is a hugely debated thing.
