Do these still look ok??

Hi,

Actually it's not a bad idea to give them a little spritz every day to keep them clean and to wash out any film you see forming on the surface of the egg white.

Did you just cut a little flap or did you remove a big piece? Any pics? Make sure you have the tub well sealed or you can get little fruit flies in the box and maggots in the eggs.

If you cut early the only concern is mold growing in the egg. With the high humidity and an open egg it starts growing mold fast. Usually the mold doesnt cause much problem. You may see that the are slower starting to to feed. When you do cut early it is best to cut as small as opening as possible so that the egg is not just sitting there open to contamination. I have seen eggs cut 10 days early and within two days the fluid in the egg turned black. Although the snake is absorbing the yoke, the fluid molding does not cause any problem. The snake will still stay in the egg till most of the yoke is absorbed.

i dont know jack about this but i just read the whole thread, good luck, keep us posted

I just checked the eggs this morning, and one of them is already halfway out of the egg...

i just cut a little flap and put it back over where i cut.

They will pop their heads out before totally coming out. don't mess with them too much or you might be why they come out. and with the cord still attached it can cause problems. if the egg was dead you would of known from the smell. you should try the light grating and press n' seal it works great, and the eggs are not touching the wet substrate.

Condensation is not cause by using too much water. it's where there is a difference in temp, the water will condensate.

Any news on any others?! I've been obsessively checking back to see an update! lol

Well after checkin on them today i noticed the lil pastel was wrapped in its cord and died :mad:...The other egg is still good with a bumble bee left to come out...i tossed the remaining eggs they were all dead...
