Dear Wh. NOT all the snake are atracted to heat! The pit vipers and some pytons do, but the majority of them are attracted to smell molecules that the pray shade to the air or water and are collected by the forked tong of the snake and are transported to the Jacobson organ in the mouth roof to be identified. And belive me eggs have awonderful aroma that say "FOOD" if you are a snake!

So I needed a quick invention as a barrier so the other eggs didn't get knocked around by the hatchlings. So I looked around my room, and there's a shoe box! The panel had two holes on a section too tall for tha bator, but then I folded them over and put the turner arm through one of the holes to keep it standing up. It works! I'm relieved now... I really didn't want the younger eggs knocked everywhere.

There are those who would tell you that the cheeping & jostling of the unhatched eggs by the earlier hatchers actually stimulates the unborn chicks to "break out". I tend to agree, based on what happened with my one & only hatch to date. My eggs were laid on their sides in the bottom of the 'bator, where the first to hatch rolled the remaining eggs around all over the place with no resulting damage.

OK; I stand corrected. I wouldn't have believed it had I not seen it!
What ever possessed me to doubt you? 

However, this brings up another question: Why wouldn't ping pong balls work just as well, assuming they're cheaper than golf balls?
Because they'd be crushed inside the snake & eventually be passed?

Maybe they would work
Never heard of it

How it works is it gets to a point that the ball cannot pass through (intestine?)
Then it starves...

Sad but it works.

Some folks don't mind a snake or two because they eat rodents.

I love snakes... But my mom and dad hate snakes so I'm gonna have to wait... This one I think is photoshopped but who knows, it'd be really pretty to have one like this

And sometimes they knock the pip on the bottom side. Suffocating the hatchling

I've got a hovabator and lockdown is Wed night...I'm obviously going to take the eggs out of their turner and remove it and I was going to put a thin piece of that rubber no slip stuff down in the bottom bator for when the chicks hatch? In pretty sure I've seen people do that...it wouldn't cause any issues would it? I've got 38 eggs in there right now but will prob be 37 or 36 at lockdown because I think there's a couple infertiles...

Is it just me, or do the chicks grow up way too fast? They already have wing feathers!
