Finally, my woma dropped her clutch. 7 pearly whites and 1 slug. My question is, she laid them kinda in a line and only coiled 4 eggs. The other 3 I moved to an incubator I had ready with some Spotted python eggs already incubating. The 3 I moved are all viable (I candled them and was able to see veins and embryo). I left her sitting on the other 4 and have been monitoring her temperatures with a temp gun. I am getting a constant readin of about 82 to 88 degrees F. What are your opinions on maternal incubation for Womas? Any one ever tried it? I have had 2 previous clutches from this female but she always refused to sit on them resulting in me trying to incubate them and failing. I am hoping this year's incubation methods will result in some neonates to rear. I have been searching for info but the best I have found is the info from boamorph on incubating Woma eggs. What gives?

I've always done mine in an incubator. Got a deformed baby in one yesterday. Alive and alert, but it is not viable. Temp is 89 degrees.
