First serpent eggs of the season (JCP)

I was pleased to find this girl wrapped around 10 nice eggs a few days ago. I let her keep them a couple days so we could watch her "twitching" to hold the temps.
She was nice about me taking them away though which was a pleasant surprise. I'm not fond of getting hit by these guys.

i can see why you hate getting bitten, mine is 5 months and 1 week and i just got bitten, scared the poop outtta me but i only had two red blood dots on my thumb, she a nice snake, when it comes time for my breeding should i leave her to incubate or should i take over?
thanks
Dan

A 5 month old isn't too bad, but a 5-6 footer I prefer to avoid being bitten by if possible. I don't normally encourage any snake to bite me though
I personally never leave the mother to incubate the eggs. It's just much easier and more reliable for me to incubate them artificially.
A few people use maternal incubation with some pythons, but generally it's more difficult to maintain proper humidity in the cage to keep the eggs from dessicating. It can be done, but I prefer using an incubator since it requires much less attention, and leaves less room for error.

Congrats on the eggs. That is a mighty fine JCP you have there. It is fun to pull out a tub and find eggs...

Actually this post is over a year old and that is a picture of last year's clutch.
This year's batch have already hatched as well, they are about two weeks old now, so I do in fact have some. They will not be ready for sale however until they have had a few meals.

I will be glad to. It may be a month or more though. Some of the hatchlings have started eating, but I like to have several meals in them before letting them go just so I know they will do well.
