If I were you, if you really want to hatch the eggs, which it seems so, you're going through the effort.
I would purchase a small cooler, about 3 feet of flexwatt (and supplies to power it), and two rubbermaid tubs.
I had one tub with holes drilled around the top of it, filled it with water and set it on the bottom.
The tub on top contained the incubating medium (perlite and vermiculite) and it had a lid with a few holes drilled in it. (4 or 5).
I put the eggs in the top one, humidity stayed around 95%-100% the hole time, and I used a big apple proportional thermostat which held it at 89.4 degrees all 55 days.
Hope this helps.

>>I set up a 10 gallon with a few inches of water. The eggs are in a critter carrier in the tank on a brick. The heat sources are a submersible heater, an undertank heat pad. And a heat lamp several inches away from the set up. I wrapped the aqauarium with styrfoam sheets, and the lid has spongy foam to keep in heat and maintain humidity. The styrofoam helped raise the temp 2-3 degress.
>>I think the problem is location since it is in a room that around 75 degrees. I can't heat the room any more than it is. I cannot put the tank anywhere else. My main question concerned the incubation temp because I keep reading different temps from different sources.

>>The ball python mating was unintentional, but i would like to hatch the eggs. I have a lot of knowledge on reptiles but I have never tried incubating snake eggs before and I was looking for more detailed info on Ball Python egg incubaion in paticular. I guess I now know as much as there is to know about it.

>>thanks for your reply
