About this snake: Diamond Python

Few snakes take care of their young. They simply lay their eggs, or give birth to their young in a suitable place and then leave. Many pythons, however, are different. They will coil around their eggs and incubate them. By shaking, or "shivering," the female generates heat (called shivering thermogenesis) and keeps the eggs up to 11 degrees Fahrenheit warmer than the surrounding air. The best incubation temperatures for python eggs are between 86 and 91 degrees Fahrenheit.
