I incubate eggs, ratsnakes and all other species the same way. I put the eggs in shoe boxes with moist pearlite as incubation material. I place the shoe boxes in one of my snake rooms on the top of tall racks that houses adults. The average room temp is 75 but in the summer the space on the top of the high racks is about 77 degrees due to the heat tape under one end of all the adult drawers.

I used to incubate with a similar setup as you but using large aquariums. I found that the way I do it now is much simpler. I don't have to worry about checking the temps all the time in the incubators and it's just a much simpler way.

They might go a few more days before hatching than when I kept them a little warmer in incubators but if anything they hatch out larger and more robust at the temps and way I do it now.
