Heres a pic of the nesting that caused some minor discussion.
Heres the eggs pipping.
Heres the babies starting to emerge.
It took 55 days of incubation and it appears all will hatch out to be strong baby cal kings. Thanks and enjoy, FR

Hi Frank,
I am curious- it appears that you incubate your eggs in/on perlite, why not incubate in/on with the material the female chose to nest?

It really has nothing to do with snakes, as kingsnakes will hatch on about anything. Its more about a critical system. This year, we hatched or are incubating, turtles, torts, longterm monitor eggs(sometimes over a year) short term monitors eggs(90 days) and of course various snake eggs. What I have learned with incubation is, the ability to keep control. Use something you understand and have control of. In a case like mine, it would not be to smart to have five different incubation mediums with different maintenance schedules. So pearlite it is.
Snake eggs are very very easy to hatch and do not require a specific medium. Why do you ask? FR
