Posted by: Kelly_Haller at Tue Nov 16 22:29:20 2010 [ Report Abuse ] [ Email Message ] [ Show All Posts by Kelly_Haller ] Most colubrid eggs are incubated at around 80 to 82, or with some species just slightly higher, and they will withstand even long term variations of a few degrees with no problems. However, python eggs require a minimum of 85 to 86 for normal development, and based on field studies, even this is a little low. Non-physiological thermoregulating species like the smaller Australian python species, ball pythons, etc, control the egg mass temps by periodically basking and then coiling about the eggs to radiate the absorbed heat back into the egg mass. Egg mass temps of these species measured in the field while being maternally incubated showed temps ranging from 87 to 89 degrees.
