As an equatorial species it makes sense that ball pythons aren't particularly gifted at regulating the temp of their eggs or even themselves against cold. However, for the record, some do maternal incubation with ball pythons. Perhaps by the time you provide enough regulation of the background temp it's no less easy than just going all the way and making an incubator but it is fun to see.

100% hatch rate and produced again the following year.
