well declan, our ornata eggs are always incubated by 28,5°C... we observe that our wild living Chrysopelea species here lay even her eggs in ferns up in the trees.. therefore, sunlight easily reaches the substrate with the eggs and can raise the temperature quite a bit... in my experience i believe they rather should be incubated then to cold.. 25°C is clearly to cold! RH should be as steady as possible around 75-80%...
our babies hatch after pretty exact 69 days...
please be prepared, the babies are really slim and small, you need to have small geckos for feeding them.. otherwise, you will end up force feeding, and that ain´t fun with this very fragile snakes...
nice species! good luck!
