We always take the eggs from a female and set them up in a 13 gal plastic can three-quarters full of damp vermiculite; we usually put 4-6 blood python eggs per can. We lay a pane of glass on the top of the can (the lid would work, but it's more fun to be able to see into the can.) We then set the can in a 12' x 12' room that's heated to 88-89 degrees with an electric heater.



Using artificial incubation, we hatch essentially 100% of the viable eggs. Maternal incuabtion simply is not as successful.
