Why did my eggs die?

I think you're doing all the right things. Like the others said, next to low humidity, mold is the the most damaging effect on any egg. And despite best efforts, typically hard to control. I've lost several eggs this year to mold as well. Had a recent clutch emerge where I continually worked one moldy egg, cleaning it every day, used fungus powder, even applied liquid bandaid. When I finally cut the eggs, the baby in this one was full term, slid out and died. It just happens. So would not worry. You've got a lot of healthy eggs, stay focused on them, watch the humidity & keep 'em wet. Good luck, stay positive and keep us posted. Cheers,

Oh well, if they're dead they're dead. I'm gonna breed balls so maybe I need to grow a pair myself and not go full retard when somethibg dies.

They are well stuck together. Not sure if I should try to pry them apart or what? Would I risk the good ones?

Also, no veins = dead, correct?

Can't be THAT wrong no matter what it was I may or may not have done, if they are captive hatching tens of thousands that they throw in a bunch of dirt with no temperature controls whatsoever in Africa.

Ball python ranch in Ghana. You think they have the proper amount of water in the soil?

The caption says "Incubators on an African ranch"... LOL "incubators"

Mine can't be THAT bad...

Wow... That is one ghetto "incubator"! :rofl:

I'm sorry to hear about your eggs. Don't beat yourself up too much over beating yourself up, if that makes a shred of sense. I know I'll be devastated the first time I lose eggs.

Ghana also has the right conditions most of the time to hatch eggs, that's where ball pythons live. They also don't care when they lose some on that scale

if the eggs start molding, which they will if they are bad, you run the risk of it killing the good eggs having them stuck together.

I've heard of using Dental floss to carefully cut through where a bad egg is connected to a good egg. Not sure if that's an option for you, depends on exactly how they're stuck.
