    when roll-outs go bad...
    i am incubating my 2nd clutch of eggs (ever) and 1/4 was a roll-out. I am wondering if anyone has noticed or noted at approximately what day do roll-outs go bad? or is it completely unpredictable? my last clutch was 8 eggs, and one of the two roll-outs went bad but i didn't think to take note of when.

    I had two roll outs this year in one clutch. The eggs are at around day 40 or so, and are still doing just fine. No bad roll outs here. :) You will probably find that the eggs will go full term.

    I'm at 100% hatch rate on rollouts, granted that's only 3 eggs, but still.. If it has veins, incubate the sucker!

    I was unaware when I got my first clutch ever last year about rolling.

    I flipped them twice to check them

    All 7 went full term.
    Lost one to a twisted umbilical.

    But yeah.

    I have had no roll outs go bad out of many roll outs.
    I had 3 clutches last year that the females let roll around and never did coil on them, 100% hatch rate.

    hmm i am incubating the roll-out (more like the push-out cuz mama did not want that egg under her) i was just curious to see if there is a common time period that eggs go bad if they are going to go bad, whether they are rollouts or boob eggs or anything.

    I don't think there is. I think its after a day or two of being settled after lay that its fatal.

    so no one has noticed an average day that eggs will begin to go bad? hahaha i was hoping i would get an answer like "eggs generally go bad between day 10 and day 20" so i could concentrate my worrying and not worry so much during the rest of the incubation period LOL

    this year was our first clutch (het. pied x het. pied) we got 6 eggs... 1 was a boob and 1 was a rollout. The boob egg was the only one to not make it! It looked as though the snake didn't have enough room to fully develop. But the rollout was just fine!
