They have been known to hatch! Even from imported dead snakes or died shortly afterward. I saw a friend of mine cut open a DOA Ball Python and set them up as if it layed them. Another friend stopped for a turtle on the road and the next car smashed it. He saw the eggs, took them home, set them up and they hatched .we let them go in a better location....now that is "defying destiny'! Roll of the dice, good luck, let us know, its very interesting. I would think more folks would chime in, with such a commonly bred snake for 25 yrs.,it had to have happened. VM
