She had laid them on the heat so I've moved her to mid point in the tub so she can regulate them herself

I'm not too sure to be honest, that was where her box was.

I moved her so that she can go to the 'basking' spot and back to the eggs as opposed to the eggs being on the heat.
I felt this would be better as it's the snake that is doing the incubation, and like Bob Clark wrote, she needs to be able to control the temps.

I think your hardest thing will be keeping the humidity up, keep us all updated.

Unfortunately you're right. Finding it quite difficult to maintain the humidity above 70% - think I'm close to bottling it and incubating them Shocked Sad

Laughing the tools is a high humidity, she will then loosen or tighten the coils to let more or less in Wink Laughing
(I had visions of Jase offering the female a kettle and water so she could make her own humidity when she wanted Laughing Embarassed Laughing )
