Possible Stickie? Egg care

[niki_g]

So I've been on this site (member and lurcher) for some time now. I've never bred my snakes, but I've thought about doing it later on if I'm in the right position. I read quite a bit of the posts in this section and people are always asking what to do - "OMG, my female just laid these eggs? HELP!" and things like that. Could we get a stickie for basic egg care, from them being laid, through incubation, to hatching, maybe covering slugs and double clutching?

I know it's not the best idea to encourage anyone and everyone to breed, but people end up in these situations anyway and then have to ask. It doesn't seem like the information is as accessible as some other care info on the site, or maybe I'm totally missing it if it is. In which case, please point out my stupidity.

I would volunteer to do this, but I know nothing about proper incubation temps or humidity, or how to care for eggs in detail. But it would be nice to direct these posts to a stickie, as we do with other basic questions.

Anyone else share my interest in this?

I predict Rich is going to say "That's what the search function is for!"

Everyone has such varied methods of incubation. I have a sticky down in my personal forum about preparing the lay box, and there is a sticky reminding people to replace the big water bowls of gravid females with smaller bowls to prevent drowned eggs.
