Yes,
In 1998-2001 I used them to hatch Python Curtus, Brongersmai, and Breitensteini eggs, as well as Regius eggs. The only problem I had was making an appropriate sized egg box for them to utilize what little space they provide.. I also used a larger styro shipping crate for the bottom instead of the bottom they provide. All in all, I had 100% hatch rates from fertile eggs. I now use a large stand up freezer that I converted into an incubator because I have too many clutches to use Habo Vators. If you only have 1 clutch it will work(depending on what kind of Python), but if you have multiple, you will need 1 per clutch I would assume(this is what I did). Also, I used the fan model for a while, but it dried out the air too much and I had to keep adding water to the substrate. So use the fan-less model.
What kind of eggs? Hope this helps.

I've used a Hovabator for three years with my spotted pythons and have had quite a bit of success. This year 100% of the eggs hatched and all babies are still going good.
