X Rays

I have a friend who knows a veterinary and he has been taking his BP's to the Vet to get XRays to know if they are gravid or not, and a few shows eggs and other don't.

Now my question is:

Have any of you know if the XRays make any damage to the eggs? Is this OK?

I don't know anything about it and nor that I have any intentions to do it, but I think it could do some damage to the babies.

What do you guys think?

are u sure it was x-rays or an ultra-sound?

It was XRays. I saw them last saturday. He told me that he took them to check if the vet can make an ultrsaound but the machine was broken and the vet offered him to take the Xrays instead.

I'm thinking x-rays aren't the best idea. Look at how they treat pregnant women and x-rays for an example.

Might accidentally make a new two-headed morph ;)

I'm not sure the effects of X-rays on snakes, I do however know that ultra-sounds are safe.

I know, I think the same way and that is why I'm asking if anyone know the effects and if it is a good practice or not.
