My macklot's python dropped her eggs a few days early and deposited them, unbeknownst to me, atop the UTH which has been sitting pretty constantly at a surface temp of 97 degrees. Yikes.. I didn't notice the eggs for a day or two because she was coiled so perfectly and elegantly around the pyramid. I'm wondering what those more experienced here think the likelihood of that bottom layer of eggs hatching is. On the one hand, 97 seems dangerously hot for those eggs. On the other hand, pythons are surprisingly intuitive and resourceful when it comes to care for their eggs, this one even going so far as to roll two duds out of the pile! Would she have really laid her eggs someplace where they would have been in clear danger of cooking?
Thanks for whatever words of insight you can offer.
Brad
