My concern on this video is not if the eggs are fertile but will they still hatch the way you were playing dice with them.? I always heard that you have to be careful with them and keep them the way they were hatched.. You were moving them around so freely.. LOL

are the python eggs as delicate as everyone makes them out to be??

LOL... Someone left a comment similar to your question on the actual YouTube page. You can do anything you want to eggs if you put them back in the same orientation. I believe Tim Bailey experimented with this several years ago by incubating and eggs for a while and deliberately turning it out of position. I believe the egg hatched fine. I've been hatching BP eggs for about 12 years now and I've never handled them with SUPER care.

This female produced 3 eggs last year and all of them went full term and hatched into healthy animals (but they were ALL male Het Caramels)

Also, whose line of caramel is that?

Thanks

Mark,

She wasn't kinked at ALL as a neonate. You have an interesting hunch though. Perhaps you are on to something.

This particular animal was produced by Ian G. about 5 years ago.

Take care :)
