Python eggs might not survive to hatching without the female python guarding and thermoregulating the nest but we are still learning about pythons and their nests in Florida.

Watch these tiny ball pythons break free from their eggs and take their very first breaths!

The surviving eggs will need about a month to hatch. A 62-year-old ball python curled up around her eggs on July 23, 2020.

Experts at the St. Louis Zoo are trying to figure out how a 62-year-old ball python laid seven eggs despite not being near a male python for at least two decades.
