My het albino who I bred for the first time this year to my albino, thank's prehistoric, laid 42 eggs saterday.....YAY ME... What shuld the hummidity be at? I have the tenp at 88 and the hummidity stay's between 70 and 90%. Is this good? This is my first ever breeding with retic's and I want to get it correct. It has been 3 long year's in the making and I am glad my snakes did it now I want a hatch rate of 90% or better. Any suggestions are appreacaited.

I'm no expert on P. reticulatus propagation. But I would raise the incubator temperature to 90-91 F. I not sure about humidity levels. Next season will be my first time trying to breed the species, and all the info I have found claim that 90-91 are good temps. Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Nick

The appropriate incubation temp. range for retic eggs is 88 to 90 degrees F. (31-32 C). I would highly discourage an incubation temp even slightly above 90 F for retic eggs. The humidity should be held as close to 90% as possible. Burmese eggs are the only python eggs that should ever be incubated over 90, as their correct range is 90 to 92 F. Great work and good luck.
