Ok this year is my frist time breeding and I breed pueblans.

Well the egg box is a 6 qt tub is that normally to small for a pueblan milk snake clutch?

and I got the temps at 81 all day but at night it can drop to 80 to 79 will the 1 to 2 degree temp drop be to bad?

Yall have a good one!

a 6 quart container is fine, as long as the female can easily get in and out. I like to make the access holes about twice the diameter of the snake. as long as the temp stays between 76 and 84 degrees the snakes should actually benefit from a slight drop in night time temps.
GOOD LUCK! Jerry

I am talking about the egg box that gose into the incubator would a 6 qt tub be to small for a clutch of pueblan eggs?

in that case. I only use 1 or 2 quart containers. 6 seems a little large but probbably would not be a problem.
