Gwit,

Just an fyi. I have been incubating maternally for 15 years with all species of pythons. I have never had a female that was not back up to weight with in 30 days of hatching her young. I have given females the next year off after huge clutches (11 ) but I would have regardless of incubation type. I personally believe mom has a better grasp of hatching out her eggs. Since, they have been doing it for few million years now. Artificial incubation is all about control. Which is fine. This is just my view. I do realize that it is the minority when you are dealing with expensive morphs but remember normals and lucys all incubate in the same enviromental requirements for the same length of time.

Both are great choices, just decide what works for you.
