Condensation is bad for eggs, but how?

Well, given that there is such a long window of time in which they lay, and the variable of weather, I would guess that a good many eggs get rained on.

Plus, given the fact that many other pythons, granted from more humid areas but genetically close to ball pythons, have their eggs rained on regularly with no ill effects, personal experience with balls and extrapolation from other species, a bit of water isn't going to hurt the eggs any.

Darn it. All those babies I hatched, with water dripping on the eggs throughout incubation, didn't get the note from the barkers.

I'll be sure to tell any subsequent eggs I try to hatch that if they get water dripped on them they must die.

I'm curious as to what Python eggs you have hatched Wes...Exactly what Python species are referring to when you say their eggs get rained on? Look at the thread in the General Python forum about the Woma eggs - Fella lost 9 eggs in 3 days...Why? I know why - To wet...I'm sure the Barkers are clueless about hatching Python eggs - How many you think they have hatched out over the years? 1000, 5000, 10000?...LOL...Keep giving out bad advice - Very noble of you I must say...
