Great news with the eggs

Will you try to incubate them?

Yeah, the incubator is up and running. It'll be interesting to see how long it'll take before that thing fails.

Don't sell yourself short Stefan, I have confidence that you will do your best and hopefully fate will deal you a winning hand this time around.

6-13 weeks, high humidity and I'm keeping the temperature at about 28-29 C. I have no idea if that's correct for the species, there's not a whole lot of information out there, but IIRC, they eggs are supposed to survive between 21 and 32. I know there's a book on amazon.de about the species, but I can't get my hands on it. I'm basically just applying what's known about where they lay their eggs in the wild and the climate where they are found.

So that's why I'm unsure about the survival of the eggs. I'm applying what's being used with other species, as it seems that the same rules apply to most colubrids (that people commonly keep).
