Last year I happened to have some of my ball pythons hatch at the same time as our local herp meeting. I decided to take some of them still in the egg to the meeting to show. I was surprised at how many people that are into herps have never seen an egg let alone a hatchling coming out of an egg. That gave me an idea so this year I converted a glass fronted freezer into an incubator and placed it in my store. I am taking one egg from each clutch and putting it on display in the store. It is amazing the questions I get, but it is also educating people as to the advancements this hobby/business/industry has evolved. I have had snakes lay eggs and or give birth in the store before and if there are customers in at the time you can't get within ten feet of the cage (LOL). Here's a couple photos of the incubator.
