    Egg lost some fluid

    Just cut our first eggs. One of them was laid tilted upwards, rather than on its side like most, and after cutting, it shifted and tilted over. Snake is still alive and has some yolk to absorb, but I'm afraid it might dry up. Is there anything we should do for it, or will it be ok?

    Thanks guys

    Add some water, not cold though, make sure it is the same temp as the egg.

    What day and temp your incubating.

    When its day 53-55 the fluid will go away as their absorbing the sac. Adding more fluid when its close to hatching time will run the risk of drowning them.
