For everyone asking why remove the eggs: Maternal incubation is really quite difficult to achieve in captivity as it's much harder to control the open environment as well (humidity and temperature) and doing so will quite often result in the the clutch not making it. plus the mom won't eat while incubation, (and probably hasn't eaten a month or too before the eggs were laid as they go off food to focus their reserves on building eggs) and thus it's healthier and more successful to remove the clutch to a enclosed controlled environment and have the mother regain her healthy weight as soon as she's able. So long story short it's more healthy and successful hatch rate wise for the eggs to be removed for the mother and for the mother to be back healthy as soon as possible it's the best way to ensure the eggs hatch and the mother continues to Be Healthy as possible.
Bruh, your "long story short" was almost as long as the long version. 🤣 "Long story short, the eggs are removed for their health and so the eggs have a better chance of hatching." There fixed it for you
When the eggs are first laid, the embryos start to attach themselves to the wall of the egg. They place themselves in a position where they can get access to the air and the nutrients. If they were to be shifted the air part could become inaccessible and they could drown in their own egg and die.
@@srsaito9262 they asked, because they weren’t sure. Better they ask than assume. But no, most snakes don’t have a motherly bond towards their eggs, they usually leave them where they lay them and move on. HOWEVER, recently scientists have found that python species specifically have motherly instincts and an inclination to stay near and brood on their clutch. Usually, the eggs incubate just fine when left with the mother at proper temperature, so I just see this as another way reptile people objectify reptiles for material gain 🥶
Some snakes will search for their eggs if the enclosure still smells like eggs, you have to soak the snake and clean the enclosure. But otherwise the snake won't be badly affected.
@@reyrats there is another reason to separate that isn't material gain. mother snakes don't eat during pregnancy and often not while incubating the eggs either. separating her out means she can get back on food sooner and regain the lost weight (:
Most snakes don't much care for their offspring, but pythons will incubate and protect them, and all viper mothers stay with them after hatched until their first shed, but I honestly doubt any of these species would much care if they were taken away from their young, they don't feel sorrow or loss like we do
It's amazing to me how many commenters say pythons dont feel motherly instincts or grieve like we do. Maybe they don't show it like we do, but how do you know what she's feeling?
Im not a snake expert so everything im saying is based off what i already know and other comments, most snake breeders or caretakers take the eggs because a mama snake caring for her eggs in an enclosure is difficult and can cause some problems, taking the eggs does not harm anything and infacts makes the chance of the babies survival higher (again im just going off of other comments and what i already know)
what about the connection between the female and its eggs after they got separated? does it change her behavior? does she bond with the babies after birth?
Well,if you wash her and the enclosure,she will not really behave differently. She will look for them if you don't,however. Snakes don't necessarily bond with their offspring like we do(would probably see more as a competition for resources than a child to raise) and removing them raises the chances of the snake babies surviving,and the mother will be able to eat and regain lost weight. I'm no expert,this is just what I've learned from other snake breeders,so please do your own research if you have other questions,this is basically the extent of my snake hatchling knowledge😅
From everything I’ve read and heard most snakes don’t really care for they’re eggs. Yes in the wild they would probably watch over them but after they hatch they don’t really care although there are a few snake species that actually do make great parents and watch over the babies even after they hatch
Maternal incubation is really quite difficult to achieve in captivity as it's much harder to control the open environment as well (humidity and temperature) and doing so will quite often result in the the clutch not maling it. plus the mom won't eat while incubation, and thus it's healthier and more successful to remove the clutch to a enclosed controlled environment and have the mother regain her healthy weight as soon as she's able :)
from what ive seen with other people who film videos like these, they remove all of them. For as long as the egg is next to the snake, the mother will continously be in 'protective mode', which makes it that they also eat less. Since snake breeders want all of their snakes to be healthy(especially the egg laying ones) so they can be ready for the next clutch, they separate the mom from the eggs and hatch the eggs in incubators, since this way the mom can quickly go back to normal life(normal eating) and it has no impact on the babies.
Wild snakes are generally very good at incubating their eggs, but domesticated snakes may not be. Also, while incubating her eggs the mother would naturally not be hunting and so wouldn't be eating. Owners generally wouldn't want to risk the health of their snakes and so prefer to put the eggs in an incubator and get the adult back to their normal routine.

I just learned on how certain reptiles trust in humans if they don't see you as a potential threat to them or their babies. I like how she has that trust But i don't think she will no more for finessing babies. I'd just let her warm the eggs herself
Snakes are not attached emotionally to their eggs or young, so realistically this has no impact on their trust. Its just a maternal instinct to protect the eggs until they have hatched and then she would just leave them to fend for themselves. Plus its more healthy and successful for both the eggs and the mother if the eggs were incubated.
Yes The snakes don’t mind they just sit in a hide and wait for food anyway and he’s a breeder so he can’t provide a 20 to 50 gallon tank for every single snake he has it’s not like the snakes going to get depression or something because they don’t feel emotions like we do and is perfectly fine in a drawer

I used to think that too, but honestly some snakes will do the same thing in a drawer as they would in a big enclosure: hide under something and wait for food.
@@Alexandriaxxanimeall pythons do. You can have them in a whole room and they will sit under one thing 24/7 other than to get water and take a dump. Very rarely so they explore. They are a prey animal and hate being out from under cover. If a hiding species of snake is shedding and eating it’s happy, they will stop eating if they feel any type of discomfort.
You shouldn’t separate the eggs cause it could break them and it’s better to just leave them then take that chance The tray is also pointless you can just set them in the pearlite
They can grow mold or damp spots if water gets on them, the tray is a: to keep the above from happening, b: to get some air flow between the eggs, and c: some snakes REALLY love to burrow. Depending on the kind of tray used it can either slow them hiding down or stop them entirely
You realize most snake species leave their eggs the moment they're hatched right? I mean, a few stay until their first shed or so, and sure there's probably at least one species that stays around the entire time. But otherwise they lay the eggs, make sure they hatch, and they're gone
@@ro2.4 same with cats and dogs, cats have made more species go extinct then invasive pythons, dogs have attacked more people then these snakes as well, and humans in general have both made more species go extinct than cats AND kill more then any/all snakes ever have or will.

Ball pythons can become problematic in areas where they are released or escape from captivity. They can compete with native species for resources and potentially spread diseases. We all know that a lot of snake owners are irresponsible and at some point when the snake becomes too big, too expensive, and too time-consuming to care for, they dump the snakes.

Yea let's take the eggs away from the mother and put them into a manmade contraption. When will man learn they can't do it better than mother nature. Give her her eggs back!
Well if he were to give them back now the snakes in the eggs would (probably) die and I'm guessing they're safer in the incubator and that's why he did it
@@calamari805 actually no! It is often taken away to get the mom out of egg protector mode (mentality) so the snake starts eating again because sometimes pythons can go weeks/months without eating while incubating their eggs
Would you not rather have the eggs have the best chance of making it? We don't just take the eggs for fun or for the sake of being mean there's a legitimate scientific reason why
Ball pythons in particular literally live in mole Hills. Very cramped extremely constricted spaces. In fact having a ball python in this space is giving it more space than it would have in the wild. Also ball pythons are very susceptible to stress and if they feel vulnerable and a large space they won't always eat. In fact most of the time when people bring their ball pythons to me and ask why it's not eating it's usually because they're in such a large space I understand the care you have about these animals and the concern you might have but don't assume things that you don't know about.
There are some studies that believe that if they stay stuck together and one starts to turn bad that it can affect the rest of the clutch and turn the rest of the eggs bad as well
@@krscartwright4951which is why you watch your eggs and only tear IF one has gone bad. I can see your point here, but if you're not gentle enough while tearing, and sometimes it'll happen anyways, you can tear the egg and cause a leak. Better to do it when absolutely needed (and more likely further into incubation) then risk a hole and leak "just in case"

She's a fairly low expression Mandarin but they do usually carry a very burnt orange as babies so once these hatch you can definitely tell they're not normals. Some adults will carry their baby colors into adulthood. Kind of like how tri color hognose snakes get less and less red as they age unless you get lucky.
Not particularly. Maternal incubation is really quite difficult to achieve in captivity as it's much harder to control the open environment as well (humidity and temperature) and doing so will quite often result in the the clutch not maling it. plus the mom won't eat while incubation, and thus it's healthier and more successful to remove the clutch to a enclosed controlled environment and have the mother regain her healthy weight as soon as she's able :)
I am so sorry but when you lifted the snake from the eggs, I was internally chanting ‘bite bite bite’. I don’t want you to be bitten but that was my inner monologue.
For everyone asking why remove the eggs:

Was thet really necessary to Ripe apart the eggs, wehn you are honest, it's just for looks 🙄 your indangering unborn snakes just for a "nace look"
Why the snake didn't hatch them herself
Can I have a snake
Assumably tho check your country or states laws on exotics. Their are places that have strict laws against reptiles for some reason.
Why do.u need to invubate eggs?.
She is a snake, and you are worrying about her mental health?
Why one keeps snakes as pets?
Same reason why people dogs and cats as pets
Nice way to farm snake meat
Thats an expensive morph bro. If someone's buying it their keeping it real safe.

Why do you breed dangerous wild animals?
they are domestic pythons. And they are harmless to people!
They're not venomous,nor do they get big enough to eat people!
Ball pythons aren't dangerous
Why do you have pet cats or dogs? Why do you even exist? You're as a human being are more dangerous then this snake is
why she cant hatch eggs herself?
Maternal incubation is really quite difficult to achieve in captivity as it's much harder to control the open environment as well (humidity and temperature) and doing so will quite often result in the the clutch not maling it. plus the mom won't eat while incubation, and thus it's healthier and more successful to remove the clutch to a enclosed controlled environment and have the mother regain her healthy weight as soon as she's able :)
Yea let's take the eggs away from the mother and put them into a manmade contraption.
When will man learn they can't do it better than mother nature. Give her her eggs back!
Buddy it’s better to incubate eggs that way
Well if he were to give them back now the snakes in the eggs would (probably) die and I'm guessing they're safer in the incubator and that's why he did it
@@calamari805 actually no! It is often taken away to get the mom out of egg protector mode (mentality) so the snake starts eating again because sometimes pythons can go weeks/months without eating while incubating their eggs
@@The_Strudel_Man Oo that's actually interesting well thanks for telling me
Would you not rather have the eggs have the best chance of making it? We don't just take the eggs for fun or for the sake of being mean there's a legitimate scientific reason why
Making of my ex girlfriend
Do you always write the way you marked the tops? Just curious I've never saw someone write that way lol.
God, the drawer for the snake😳 those poor animals 😢
Its a snake not a mammal
Snakes dont need giant placws .in wild , they just stay in one place .
Ball pythons in particular literally live in mole Hills. Very cramped extremely constricted spaces. In fact having a ball python in this space is giving it more space than it would have in the wild. Also ball pythons are very susceptible to stress and if they feel vulnerable and a large space they won't always eat. In fact most of the time when people bring their ball pythons to me and ask why it's not eating it's usually because they're in such a large space I understand the care you have about these animals and the concern you might have but don't assume things that you don't know about.
Why do you separate them and not leave them stuck together like they are naturally?
There are some studies that believe that if they stay stuck together and one starts to turn bad that it can affect the rest of the clutch and turn the rest of the eggs bad as well
@@krscartwright4951which is why you watch your eggs and only tear IF one has gone bad. I can see your point here, but if you're not gentle enough while tearing, and sometimes it'll happen anyways, you can tear the egg and cause a leak. Better to do it when absolutely needed (and more likely further into incubation) then risk a hole and leak "just in case"
Do u think this is a happy life for the snake? A dollar general plastic bin?! Honestly this pisses me off

No
what's rare about this python...?
The morph or color she displays.
Right, she looks like a normal...
She's a fairly low expression Mandarin but they do usually carry a very burnt orange as babies so once these hatch you can definitely tell they're not normals. Some adults will carry their baby colors into adulthood. Kind of like how tri color hognose snakes get less and less red as they age unless you get lucky.
Yuck
Poor snake, she looks so content snuggled up with her eggs. It's so wrong what you are doing 😔
Not particularly.

These snakes aren’t pets, get a dog!
To hold him in a 50cm by 50cm container? Sure
People get overwhelmed with them and let them go in the wild which they don't belong here. Now they are killing off our nature wildlife.
They're more domesticated than budgies. They're less aggressive than any dog. They are pets
@@midnightsan9917 No
@@thinkingoutloud1353 no what
Why wouldn't you just leave them woth the mother? There's no better care taker...
I am so sorry but when you lifted the snake from the eggs, I was internally chanting ‘bite bite bite’. I don’t want you to be bitten but that was my inner monologue.
Why??? Ewe
Put in microwave 😅
She isn't rare 😒
She's a mandarin morph at least. Those are relatively new and rare
