Thanks for the info.
This was my first year breeding boiga. I dropped their temps a little bit and misted heavily for about a month and a half. That seemed to work for my gemmicincta and cyanea. Nothing from my melanota until she surprised me with a clutch much later then the gemmicincta and cyanea. I incubated at 84 degrees and the cyanea aggs hatched after 91 days. My gemmicincta eggs are actually pipping right now at about day 103.
I'm wondering if in the wild they incubate at higher temps. With the gemmicincta and the cyanea I had several lay boxes available each with slightly different temps. The gemm. laid her eggs in the box that was about 87. The cyanea laid in the box that was about 89. Didn't get to try that with the melanota, only had time to set up one box for her. I plan to set it up like that again next time but change the temps around. To see if they pick the same box position or a box with the same temp.
I've noticed the swelling you mentioned with the cyanea as well.
