That's great stuff Phil!.......best of luck with the future offspring. Looks like the mother has some great maternity skills going on there regardless of which one of you incubates them..LOL! :beer:

Thanks Doug. I was so tempted to give maternal incubation a shot, but decided to pull them and set them up in my incubator. Maintaining proper humidity levels in her box was making me a little nervous.

Very cool Phil! Thanks for sharing. I have been looking into getting a children's python for awhile now. How big do yours run?

Thanks Thom,

They are great little pythons. My adults are less than 30" in length.

I know exactly what you mean there, Phil. We both know that in nature she would choose the optimal spot to do this in the first place, but it can be quite different in any given captive environment. Better safe than sorry when in question I always say! :)

What a beautiful sight . I would be torn and tempted too but the perfection of the eggs would win out on me as well. Splendid pic!!!
