I had a wc female scarlet king lay 6 eggs for me on June 16th. They are in the incubator now and 4 of the 6 look real good. Can anyone give me some advice on how to hatch these out? Thanks

I have hatched out a few over the years....
Straightforward as any other colubrid, I'd say.
Incubator temps at around 82F, humidity at 90% . and in about 49-60 days you can expect them to pip.
That should give you a little time to pick up some feeder lizards, skinks, etc.
I have an old "care sheet" around if you'd like.
Might help you some.

never hatched them,but raised hatchlings....so i can emphatically say work on patience,and start stocking some ground skinks to get some size on them before the trying task of switching them to pinkies.

How would hatchling fence lizards work?
Just curious.

I have had them take fence lizards but I have limited access to them. I use brown anole babies first most times.
Scenting a "drumstick" from a f/t pink with a skink works well sometimes..
Good luck.
