I heat my Reptile room at 88 degrees.
I place the clutches into Five gallon buckets, and use glass panes to cover the bucket.
2006, every egg hatched that was laid fertile.
2005, every egg hatched that was laid fertile.
I do not use heat to cylce my animals. I do not cool them off, as giving them a clue for breeding conditions.
I use Light cycles.
My snake room is 65'x 14' with high ceilings.
It has three sky lights, double French Doors and huge windows.
Summer sun up at 5am down at 9pm. Winter sun up at 9am down at 5pm.
I've been breeding Burmese, Carpets, Rings, Bloods, etc for many years using this method. When I got into Balls, I just kept doing what worked for me.
I do not recommend others to attempt this, without more indepth studies of heat requirments of Python eggs, including humitity levels.
Just because it works for me, it may or may not work under your conditions that is in your "snake" room.
