Hygienics incubation of python eggs

Presents research on the incubation of eggs and getting healthy young snakes of the family Python (Python reticulates, Morelia amethistinus) in terms of the terrarium. The submissions of his own observations to determine the optimal parameters of microclimate during incubation of eggs of pythons: temperature and humidity regimes of incubation, allowing to obtain the highest percentage of hatched active, viable individuals. It is preferable to artificial incubation of eggs Python. Material for research was the eggs Python Python reticulates, Morelia amethistinus, incubated using a reptile incubator. The use of this incubator involves regular spraying of eggs. The optimum temperature of incubation for eggs Python is 32°C, relative humidity should not be below 75%. The relative humidity is below optimum within 48-72 hours signs of dehydration of the eggs. When the temperature drops below the optimum for successful incubation of the range 29°C, hatching snakes does not occur. The incubation temperature above 33°C leads to the appearance of different kinds of birth defects. Meet spinal deformity, which manifest themselves in the form of curves, fusion of the vertebrae and twisting. Frequent bending or twisting of the tail. You can also find the magnification of the eye and orbital structures. Maintaining a constant temperature and relative humidity throughout the incubation provide the best result. For the incubation of eggs of Python used a variety of substrates: vermiculite, sphagnum moss, peat, sand, gravel. The substrate should be a good evaporative surface. However, the most important condition for successful incubation is to maintain optimal temperature and humidity conditions.
