With a few precautions in place, you can successfully incubate the eggs of your green tree snake.
Things You'll Need
- Incubator
- Thermometer
- Barometer
Instructions
Locate the eggs once the female green snakes have laid them; green snakes will bury their eggs in a corner or sheltered area of their containers. It is possible to successfully hatch green snake eggs that are left in a climate-controlled tank or container, but using an incubator makes it easier to control temperature and humidity for the developing eggs.
Use an incubator that allows you to monitor the temperature and humidity of the inside of the incubator at all times.
Keep the temperature at 83 to 85 degrees Fahrenheit and the humidity at 75 to 80 percent.
Space the eggs evenly throughout the incubator. Some incubators will have individual holders for each egg, but leave 1 to 2 inches between each egg if there are not containers for the eggs.
Monitor the incubator closely; check the temperature and humidity hourly or every few hours each day to maintain the constancy of the environment. Check the eggs for signs of hatching as time passes; be ready to transplant the baby snakes to their own containers once they have hatched.
