Hey,

This is my first clutch of Borneo's, but have hatched greentree pythons and colubrids for years. This should be interesting to watch and experience as with any herp we work with and strive to breed and produce off-spring; no doubt they can be a chalenge. At any rate, that said, I am probably going to set the eggs up in a no substrate medium using egg crate baffle sold at plastic ware houses for lighting and other uses. I've used vermiculite in the past but will try this method out. I had success with it last year hatching out a single egg that was set up in the no substrate medium last year and think that this might be a good way to go too; not to mention that at the moment I don't have any vermiculite. LOL!! The no substrate technique is used by Bob Garby and others, i.e., Greg Maxwell, of the Chondroweb forum and Trooper Walsh of the National zoo in Washington DC. Any how, think this could be a good method for this clutch.



Also, forgot to mention, she has laid some where in the range of 10-12 eggs from what I can see. A final count will be taken when I separate her from the eggs later tonight. Thanks for the interest and the well wishes. I'll keep you posted.
