Me and a friend breed our irian jaya and her female laid 14 eggs (nice for her first year I think!). They all look fertile. But some are curved by the inside. Humidity is ok since the incubator has been running for a while to be sure. Any sugestion? Here's the pics:

Hey hey
Nice clutch ... Well its nice enough ... I first of all wish u the best .. but here is the couple of things I have learned from MY EXPERIENCES.. based on my clutches of coastal carpets
One .. I think it is extremelly hard to control humidity of the eggs when directly laid on the vermiculite (seems ure humidity might be low) .. It works but its hard to get the top of the egg humid umless ure humidity is really high ... suggestion .. Either put the eggs on the plastic trays .. or if u don't want to move em (wich is the best ofption right now.. i'd cover them with an inch of moss..
I had caved in eggs last year and used the vermiculite like yours and the moss work .. half way thorugh the incubation I switched on the egg crate and humidity was fine after.. It take a few days to get the eggs to round up again ..
This year I had the worst of luck ... My eggs seems to be badly calcified (see this post http://www.ssnakess.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=39547) U're eggs seem like its simillar.. unless that pic is when the eggs just came out and they aren't fully hardenned yet.. Anyway .. maybey that post can give u some idea..
Anyway ..
My oppinion is this.. don't fuc* with the eggs.. add moss and keep an eye out for mold and be hope full If they do mold over cal me . I got a few tricks that might help u out
Best of luck ..

Thanks alot Dom!!! I thought I've already read that tread but I miis info, thanks! I was sure there was more egg pics at the end, wierd. The eggs are not incubate here, it's my friend that have the female tha incubate them. I'll tell him bout the moss trick and the egg crate.
Your help is really apreciated, thanks alot. Best of luck with yours!!! So, does the powder feet have stop the mold?
Un photo de l'incubateur sera bon a voir.
Et le boite des oeufs.
Bravo, bon chance.

Mardy a raison! Une photo serait bonne! Mai comme j'ai dit.. cjager and niaiser avec l'incubateur n'est pas la meilleur idee..
Le maion tu l'touche, le mieux que ses.
And yest the foot powder works if properly used but looses on mold after about 3 - 4 days i find .. wel my brand anyway
Best of luck

Merci beaucoup!
C'est mon ami qui a la femelle alors c'est lui qui incube. Je n'ai pas de photo mais il a prit un gros bac rubbermaid, a mit de l'eau au font avec un chauffe eau 50W, des brique au fond et 2 plus petit rubbermaid remplis de vermiculitte humide sur les briques. Il a mit du styrophoam au tour du gros rubbermaid pour garder la chaleur. Il y avait des gouttes de condentation qui se formait a cause de l'humidité alors je crois que c'est pour cela qu'il a mit un filet en tissus au dessus des oeuf, pour ne pas avoir d'eau qui dégoute directement dessus. Il a un bon termometre mais peut-être pas un avec une sonde. Je vais lui demander les température et humidité exacte. On a eu de la difficulté car il y a beaucoup de différence dans les température suggéré entre morelia.ca, python of the world des Barker et Reproductive husbandry of pythons and boas. À combien préféré vous incuber les votres?
Si je repasse dans le coin, je prendrai une photo de l'incubateur
I incubate around 88.2 tp 88.7 .. thats my preference but many have succesfully incubated as low as 86 and as high as 92 althought id stay between 87.5 and 89 ..
