Any techniques you use to get succesful hatches? I like to see these kinds of photographs.

100% humidity and NO substrate. 100% hatch rates EVERYTIME (with good eggs). I will never go back. ALL python eggs this way.

Thanks for the nice words!!

Check out this egg tooth!!

Congratulations, can you tell us more on your incubation technique.How do you ensure 100% humidity in there?

cheers

Funny you should ask! I just posted a bunch of answers to a guy who had the same questions on the Ball forum. Go here and I think I cover it all (hopefully). If not, ask me anything!

Congrats on the babies!
We also switched over to the "no-substrate" incubation method this season and we have been nothing but pleased. So far we have hatched a clutch of IJ carpets and a clutch of Southern Scrubs. Any day now we should also hatch a clutch of Barnecks. We found that this method is great when it comes to hatching long incubation species like Scrubs. I used to do OK with vermiculite for colubrids and many pythons species that took 60 days or less but when we got into scrubs, we had many problems maintained proper humidity for the entire duration of incubation which could be as long as 80 days.
The no-substrate method is all we will ever use again...until a better plan is devised.
Again, congrats!

Congrats on all the eggs man! You must be pumped!

We should start selling "No substrate" T-shirts, with the red circle with a line through it and everything, ha ha!
