According to the Barker's book, BPs can't elevate their body temps to incubate their eggs as some pythons can. Basically all Maternal incubation does it cause the female to be defensive and not eat while the eggs incubate. Granted she does hold in some heat.
Really no reason for maternal incubation with Balls.
Other pythons the female will "shiver" to raise her body temp above the air temp and incubate the eggs.
