I appreciate the info! I've been on a few other forums and activity is sparse at most...there seems to be a bit more conversation for Hog's on this one......great reading.

I've spent a great deal of time looking over most of the posts in this group...very passionate group at times I really enjoy the photos from clutches.

One thing that is really controversial in my mind is the incubation differences being discussed. I mean I don't know one way or the other for sure....but I don't understand how most people have come up with the temperature being around 80-82 as the temp for incubation.

In the field, underground temps wouldn't they be much lower? Like in the 70's range or so? Where did this avg number of 82 come from?

I have to be careful what I say here, I don't want to get stomped on by FR for not caring what the snakes actually feel or need. I rather enjoy the battling that goes on from time to time because of the different viewpoints expressed.

So much to learn and so little time
