Its more irresponsible of the person who sold it to you. Hope all goes well with the incubation.

Read this guid. It will help you a lot.

"I separate the eggs from each other as much as I can and place them in a tupperware with the peat/vermiculite mixture. Being in the midwest has it's advantages in that our local farm supply (Farm & Fleet) sells Hovabator brand incubators for about $30. After about sixty days of incubating at 88-90F, you should see heads pip from the eggs. Usually the whole clutch will pop heads out within about 24 hours of each other. At this point, I remove the tupperware from the incubator and place it into a warm ten gallon tank. Typically within 24-48 hour of pipping the baby snakes have absorbed the egg yolk, and decide to fully emerge from the egg. A week or ten days later the babies will have their first slough. A week or so after the shed you should start trying to get them to eat."

Hey vince thanks alot.. for the guide.. i actually went to chicago reptile house to get some tips brian from there is awesome and got me a hovabator vermeculite and everything i needed.. thanks thought i really appreciate it .. im soo exicted...

Keep as close to 89 degrees as you can and keep the humidity high.

If you have any problems with the eggs just post here and I'm sure somebody will beable to help you.

Good luck....

P.S. do NOT try to seperate the eggs.......

Cool, good luck. Let me know when they hatch!

Thanh,

Maybe it's a WC that came gravid from origin. I'm not sure a person that went through the trouble of breeding a pair would let go a gravid female. One way or the other good luck with your eggs. Most books recommend 88-90 F. I like to incubate mine at 87 F and they do just fine (56 days for one of last year's clutches).

Regards.
