That should work fine. I'm keeping mine at 79-80. I've read range is 78-83 though. That's a lot of eggs. What species?

Yeah blacks get pretty big so larger clutches probably. I've got a buttermilk that laid 14. And the eggs are fairly large so it looked like a lot for the snake which is somewhere around 3.5 feet, maybe a little more.

If they hatch I might be selling some of them, but it depends on how many of them I get feeding. I'll just release any I don't get to feed fairly quickly since the parent was wild caught. These snakes generally aren't for sale too often from what I've seen but occasionally you can find them in classifieds.
