Thanks!
I'm sure you will find that the vast majority of people on here take the eggs away from the mother and incubate them syntheticaly in an incubator. Temps and humidity can be controlled much more easily yeilding higher hatch rates.

How did I get them away from the mom? Carefully. I held them behind the head and slowly unwound them from around the piles of eggs. I didn't get struck at by either of my females but they certainly let me know how they felt by hissing.
