Hi guys, this is an interesting topic cos I'm definitely not intending on breeding my snakes for commercial reasons.... I will b more than happy breeding them once every two year and will b happy to let them incubate their egg's on their own...
Sorry jamesr, didn't mean to steal u'r post but do like how u titled it........ Ya so, have any of u let the mother do her job???If u have,then what kind of substrate have u used??? Do u make an effort to keep a certain humidity, etc,etc and etc..... I do have a commercial incubator(a small one) but would much rather let her, take care of the eggs... Please do let me know..... cheers
G/B.......
