Serial entrepreneur Samuel (Sam) Raymer concurrently leads operations at his lending firm, Commercial Capital Consulting, LLC, and at his renewable energy prospecting company, Jett Marketing. In his personal time, Sam Raymer raises ball pythons.
For python breeders, getting a female to deliver a clutch of eggs is only half the process. Ball python eggs require a suitable environment to remain viable. Here are some strategies for creating the ideal conditions for hatching:
- Maintain the correct temperature. Breeders should ensure that the temperature in an incubator remains steady at 89 degrees.
- Minimize handling. When transferring eggs to a smaller container, breeders may find that some eggs are stuck together. Separating the eggs isn’t necessary. Once the eggs are in the incubator, disturbances should be kept to a minimum.
- Provide humidity. Ball python eggs do best in a humid environment. Breeders can add moisture to the air by placing a damp paper towel inside the incubator.
