I say incubator but it is nothing more than just a rubbermaid tub with vermiculite in the bottom shelf in my snake room. It gets about 82-83 during the day and 79-80 at night. That is my version of an incubator.

: : It does look very fertile. It was extremely soft when I found it like it was just laid. I picked it up and put it in the incubator and about an hour later it swelled up and hardened like a perfect egg. It did have the faintest amountof a yellow tinge to it this morning. Got me! I guess I will no in a couple of days if it goes bad or not.

: : This just caught me by surprise and I've never heard of such a thing

: : : my question is does the eggs look fertile ? my female splendida shed a couple of days ago and she also released some slugs. they where totally deformed (looks like bright yellow ball python crap ! hehe). she's still totally gravid and robust. i can even see the buldges from the on her side. if the egg that your female layed looks ok i would just incubate it and consider it a "early gift" :) hope it helped

: >>>>>>>>>>>> females will lay bad eggs even a week or two before laying the good ones...it may be good too....you will see it turn a green or blueish tint inside from the fungus growing in it if it is bad........it MAY stay good lookin for a month or more even and be infertile,,,but this is not the norm.....you said incubater?,,,,I do not like to use them....If you can get them to an area that stays 82 degrees you need no incubater....my room for snakes is 82 +- so we use none...just put them on shelf and they hatch in 60 days +_-.... good luck ,,,,
