Im sure they would hatch at a temp of 80-82 degrees as is typical for most other colubrids, I WILL say however, it is much safer to have ANY eggs incubated at a slightly cooler temp, than it is at higher temps. At warmer temps, you can risk them not hatching at all(killing the embryos), or if they do, there can be a greater possibility of birth defects such as spinal kinks, and/or other deformities.

I would suggest 80-82 being a good target temp, but an accurate thermometer is an absolute MUST placed at the moist substrate where the eggs are, guessing at temps just doesn't cut it.

Good luck with the eggs!
