Hi Terry,
female laid 7 (or 8??) good eggs and 1 slug the 11 of may: started to hatch all yesterday: 100% live big nice hatchlings
First time I breed these snakes 2 years ago the eggs were very hard (as oxycephala eggs), this time were normal (big, but soft as guttata eggs). I had them at 26°C (they are in the same incubator with my eastern indigo eggs) on perlite. I had about 60% of humidity, because when I had higher humidity (80-90%) indigo eggs started to swell too much.
I had also a 100% hatch rate with my heterodon, I think that the low incubation temp is the key.
Best regards
nazzza
