Breeding Indian Python in Captivity Shows New Hatching Growth
A number of institutions report incubation of Indian pythons in captivity with unusually high success. At Grost-Borstel near Hymbure a large reticulated python laid eggs after a sailor brought in a specimen.

The mother’s careful egg care yielded better results, and initial hatchlings reached around two feet.
