Ball python eggs will do just great at 85-88 degrees and you get better and more complete yolk absorption and less tiny premature hatchlings
This is very, VERY true. For the first few years I incubated at 89.6 and there was always quite a bit of yolk left over. Last season I incubated at about 87 and I had some nice plump hatchlings, definately bigger than prior seasons.

And also as Evan stated, there are many substrates that can be used. We have never used substrate and have had very few problems.
