Thank you! For some reason, it looks like she still has at lest one more egg inside her but she hasn't let it out yet, I'm not sure it is an egg or backed up poop. Its not as far down as the eggs were. Well see what happens witht that. As far as the two little guys, I have them in the incubator pretty much under 24 hour surveillance. I have an all in one hygrometer in there, the temp is holding at 81-83 ( I would rather keep it a tad low than cook them) and the humidity goes back and forth between 54-61. The monitor keeps track of the highs and lows for the temp and humidity levels so even if I miss something, it lets me know what has happened. The eggs have not hardened nor have they turned white, which is what I assumed they would do once they leave the mothers body.They almost look like small clear underfilled water balloons. But, I can clearly see the blood vessels and the dark masses have doubled in size and you can see tons of movement in there and I think I can make out an eye in the one. These little guys are fiesty! Its a good sign that they are moving around and I am so anxious to see them come out.



My other female is in shed right now. Something else that had misled me. I know snakes go into a pre-brith shed but again, having been misinformed about the species, what I looked up said that snad boas do not do this. Funny enough, the female that just laid these eggs shed the day before she laid them. So in a few days, I hope I can tell all of you that I have a few more little bundles of joy growing in the incubator. I'll keep you posted!
