    Something doesn't look right to me. You say it's alive?

    What day are they on? If the veins haven't pulled back, doesn't that mean they're not ready?

    Without much info to go on this would be my guess.

    A. You cut them too early for one.
    B. That looks like a egg that has been cut open for at least a week. When you cut early the fluid will get cloudy and goopy on top. Get a Q-tip and gently try and get the white goop off the top.
    C. Those eggs have at least another week to go.

    they are on day 53 i cut on day 52. the other 9 look perfect. it has only been cut like 24 hours and all the others look like these. i was told by several people here that it is perfectly safe to cut at 52.

    with out looking at it in person..its either deformed or thats its yolk pushed up over the body..

    Looking a bit closer it looks as though the yolk has gotten into a funny place.. leave it be..theres really nothing to do at this point but to keep a close eye on it ..If it is the yolk you may have to make sure it doesn't tangle the snake and kill it..

    it is the yolk to the right side of the egg, and it has rolled a little since this pic but what about the odd color?
