Lol, hopefully this will be my first ever ball python egg to hatch so this one is pretty important to me. Even though this is not what I had in mind. For those out there that don't me I am rather new to ball pythons. The only snake I have successfully bred were burmese pythons but that was nearly 10 years ago. I have bred Jackson's chameleons in Hawaii and that was my introduction to the world of herpetoculture.
My plans were to take these 2006 females and breed them their third winter. I guess they had other plans. Here are some pics I got of my incubator setup. Tell me what you think. I know the temps are off but I just threw it together and it has yet to warm up. I am hating the Ranco, it's not proportional. A herpstat is on the way.
Believe me I have nothing against breeding a 1000 gram female ball python but I would never do that their second winter. I threw my temp-gun in there for scale. I am waiting for the temps to stabilize before I throw the eggs in there.
I wish jasballs was here such a great source of information!
Here is my favorite boy just for giggles.
