One egg extremely deflated at day 55, should I cut?

Day 55 is fairly early for them to pip on their own so I wouldn't worry about that. Also, the eggs should get pretty deflated by the end, that's perfectly natural. The one egg that is really deflated is the only one that looks odd to me, but I'm still not sure it's something to be concerned about.

Well curiosity got the best of me... I cut all the eggs. The baby in the egg I was worried about looks a little small but fine other than that. The rest look fine as well, and so far it looks like I have 1 definite mojo, 1 possible mojo, 1 definite normal, and 2 unknown.

Pics or it didn't happen! :gj: Glad it was okay. My first clutch this year started pipping on day 55, which is a little earlier than typical, but not impossible (obviously). It sounds like that egg just had more room to collapse around the littler baby.

I tried to get a good pic of each egg with flash and without.

Egg 1 - This was the extremely collapsed one and it turned over when I went back with the camera. Pattern and color is visible now and looks like a mojave to me. What do you all think?

Egg 2 - This one flipped over so I could see it's pattern too. Was thinking mojave on this one too.

Egg 3 - This is the one I thought was a possible mojave and now I think so even more.

Egg 4 - This is the one I am pretty positive is a mojave.

Egg 5 - This is the one I am pretty positive is a normal. I could see its back really well earlier today and it was a lot more brown than the others.

Congrats, looks good.

Looks like you hit some good odds! Congrats :)

I think I agree with the 1 normal and the rest Mojaves! Nice odds!

Nothing like seeing that little head pop out for the first time. Never get tired of it!

Sucks I wasn't home to see the babies start poking there head out but it's great to have a mom who loves snakes and can help keep an eye on them while I am out of town.
