Egg cut

Last night was day 52 of incubating at 89 degrees so I cut one egg. There was a live baby that already had its colors. I looked in the egg again today and it seems as if the baby lost its color. It looks whiter and paler. It is still alive and moving in the egg. Btw it is a 100% het pied. What could be the reason for this change in color? What should I do?

Pics? Maybe it rolled and is showing it's belly?

I don't think it's the belly since there is patterning. I will try to get some pictures but I don't really have pictures of what it looked like yesterday.

Agree. Pictures would be best.
Thats odd.

Maybe it's a ringer?

Here is a picture from this morning. It is weird because the color seems to be back. Does the liquid look cloudy to you guys?

everything looks normal to me.
it probably turned from your first peak and you saw it through the cloudy part of the egg sack.
I'd leave it alone until it decides to come out.

Looks normal to me too. Maybe what you think is a color change in the snake is actually a color change in the mucus/egg sac. It gets filmy and gross once it comes in contact with air. You'll need to mist the eggs to keep them clean and to cut down on the filmy build up.
