I have a fairly large collection of Florida kings and have been specializing in them for 15 years. I have been producing other snakes since the 70's. So thuis does not apply to all species of snakes.



Keeping a constant temp on Florida king eggs is fine but not mandatory.



I allow the Florida king eggs spike in temps. They do that in nature if you ever found colubrid eggs in a wood pulp in the field. They can get quite warm.



Depending on how your house is situated, closets sometimes get hot during the day and later cool off at night. The eggs are pretty tough. So anywhere from 70-90F in short periods are fine for Florida kings.



I just used a temp gun on my eggs and right now my eggs are in the high 80's to low 90's. This will drop at night to the low to mid 70's.





It seems the warmer you keep them the shorter the incubation time. But if you can keep them around a constand 80f , that should be fine.
