Has anyone tried maternal incubation?

Just wondering how capable Australian Sand Pythons would be at this.

Womas are quite adept at it, mine try to do it all the time BUT with the fast they go through prior to laying, I would hesitate to put additional stress on them by allowing them to do it. Also, it is an incredible pain in the A$$ to set up an entire enclosure as an incubator, I would rather use my preset incubator and KNOW that I dont have to worry about anything and in 60 some days, I have Womers sticking their evil little heads out.
