    Wanted To Watch An Egg Develop While Incubating!!

    So I have always wanted to watch a snake develop in the egg from day 1 - Hatching. Well I accomplished my goal. I was able to take an egg, take off all the Calcium (Or Most Of It), and watch it from day 1 to day 57. I cut the egg to see if the snake was still alive. Well it is very much alive and wanted to share this with you guys. Thanks for looking.

    Very cool!
    Did you happen to take pics as it developed and progressed?
    And how did you go about removing the calcium from the egg so you could see without destroying the egg?

    That's actually pretty cool, as long as it didn't hurt the snake! Haha.
