My female Burm Bindy just laid her eggs today. Hopefully all goes well in the incubator! Ron.

Looking good. Since there is such a long time difference in incubation for these two species, it would be interesting if you kept a record of when they hatch and I would also keep a close eye on egg development and perhaps cut windows in the eggs later in incubation to check on their development. If they are fertile they will develop, getting them to hatch is another obstacle for you to get past. Good luck and keep us posted. Good work!!

Thanks for the reply. This will hopefully be my third successful year in a row producing Bateaters. I open the eggs at day 50-55 and the babies emerge between day 60 and 70. Ron.

Thanks for the intel, i knew their had to be an intermediate day between the two species normal incubation. I have never done this hybrid but I would have cut the eggs about the same time you did, so I think you will be successful again this year, good luck and please post any hatchlings you get, I love those hybrids, I am not very fond of them when they are bred back to burms however, nothing like a 50/50 mixture. Although I have seen some pics of them bred back to tigers, those where interesting looking. DO you incubate at 89 degrees?

Bateaters are a cross between a Reticulated Python and a Burmese Python. Ron.
