Hi
Dione and bimaculata can hatch after about 2 weeks, when the incubation temperature is 27-28*C.
I found though that it was better to lower the temp (room temp). First of all the juveniles was bigger and stronger and especially the males was far easier to grow up. I have seen it with some other ratsnakes too. The procentage of well functioning and selfeating juveniles became lower when the temperature was high.
It takes a little longer. My dione hatched after about 35 days, but I had the strongest babies ever.
I read once about someone hatching Elaphe quatuorlineata at 17-20*C. I couldn`t believe that was possible but after 6 months some of the babies came.
Best wishes
Søe
