Collapsed eggs + candling pics, help!

[brettfong]

So I'm on day 56 right now and for the last few weeks the eggs started getting really collapsed. I feel like there's not much room for a snake to be developing in there. After candling the eggs, I can see snakes in there and patterns are evident. Is it okay for them to be like this?

I can see movement in most eggs so I'm pretty sure they're alive

Also after watching millions of egg videos and cutting videos on youtube, I noticed the shells are usually pretty pliable and thin while mine are kinda 'hard' and stiff. Humidity has been super high the whole time and temps are kept between 88 and 90.

Here's some pics:



- not the best picture, but you can see how flattened the egg is. (yay for the spider gene)



- this one i felt looked super tiny



- here's all the eggs together

Any help is appreciated. I'm planning on waiting a few more days to see if they'll pip on their own.

If they are super hard they may have a hard time pipping. An expert will chime in soon but if it were me I would cut just a little. 56 should be pretty adequate...

I would go ahead and cut the collapsed eggs or half of them.

I had the same problem recently with a clutch of het lavenders. I ended up cutting on day 52 to hopefully give them a little room. All seem to be on the small side and one has come out so far. All seem healthy just on the small side.

And like some people said they may seem hard. Mine did and that's one of the reasons I also cut them.

I remember seeing your thread on that. Mine look pretty similar. I'm going to go ahead and cut and I'll post update pics after! Thanks

Yes he or she never answered back about them. Hope they hatched.

This pic was day 40 I think but they collapsed on day 30. I didn't realize how bad it was when I lift it and took pics! I kinda see some patterns in there. I placed a damped towel over it today and see what happens. Can't do nothing about it but wait. Day 44 now

They are actually on there way out now. One is out and the other two are taking there sweet time just chilling with there heads out of the eggs. As soon as they come out I will post updated pics.

I had a broken seal on mine that collapsed early. Started around day 35 I think. I tried to reverse it some but to no avail. I ended up just making sure I had damn towels on it every day until I cut at day 52. Then I made sure the eggs stayed hydrated a little.
