I have incubated diamond eggs at 31'C and they have hatched at around 54-55 days. I have also incubated them at 28'C and they have hatched at 59-60 days. There's no problem with them taking longer and as long as the eggs are looking okay and have sunk in then things are going fine. Your babies are inside those eggs and will come out when they're good and ready.

I am watching the eggs curefully, They are at least 59 to 60 days old and I am sure that they are healthy babies inside. Eggs are shrinking in right way. Jungle, you will be happy father soon.

Congrats guys.
Might be a personal question & I will understand if you do not wish to answer, but what deal do you guys have in regards to Slatey incubating the clutch?
Only asking out of sheer interest & to get an idea RE: incubating, breeding loans etc.

Incubator is not mine, is belong to my friend and he will get one hatchling for lending it to us.
I had this incubator to incubate my coastals and I gived him 2 hatchies from my clatch becaose he is good mate of mine.One hatchie would be enough. He was happy with that. I gived him 2 of them becaose when I was on holiday he took care of all watching for week.
He will claim one hatchie from second clatch owed by junglemad.
Incubator is good and work perfect second time in row. I am glad that junglemad's hatchies are finally comming out. I was watching them and checking for past 9 days constantly LOL they was bit hesitant to hatch.

Your mate gets a hatchie for use of the incubator.
You get the pleasure of gaining more experience incubating python eggs.
And Junglemad gets to raise his first clutch (I assume its his 1st?).
Sounds like a win,win,win situation 
Congrats again guys.
And good to see fellow hobbyists helping each other out.

A little head was popping out for a look . Thanks very much Slatey! As a few of you know I like to think i can sex snakes by sight. I will put in my guess for my own babies.."male" for this one and his name will be 'Swartzenegger' after his dad 'Terminator' and after the fact he looks like a blackhead hatchie
welcome to the menagerie blackboy
