Please only answer if you have actually had experience yourself letting snakes maternally incubate eggs. (Non experienced PLEASE refrain from commenting)
Hi,
Because of I may be away at work (FIFO) when eggs are laid this year I'm looking at maternal incubation as a solution until I get home.
My main concern is humidity. How do you keep the humidity in the nest box up to say 70%. I know using damp not wet moss and vermiculite as a nesting material helps. But I always find it dries out quite quickly. I have thought of lining the nest box with wet perlite/water then egg crate, then a few sheets of newspaper.
Any advice would be most welcome from the experienced.
