Doubt it, Jas cuts day 30 no problems, Bryan here cut same day i did and no problems. I truly think it was just a humidity issue from air exchanging. No one will ever figure it out as eggs arent perfect.

I have only hatched out a few over the past three years, but I never saw any like those.:confused:

Never had one die in the egg or not be healthy,

Also Humidity might play a role in them as well for being like that.

Hey Rich,

Last year I had one clutch dimple, this year I have had none dimple(I have cut 2 ckutches already and I am cutting the third on Monday next week). I am adding a few more grams of water this year than last though. So I wonder if it is a humidity issue you are having. But, you are using the substrateless method. You should have a perfect humidity percentage...

Yea i soak the vermiculite with a lot of water like usual. And i dont check on eggs till day 40 and add water if needed. They only dimple when they get closer to hatching. Always have since i been breeding. Some dont dimple at all some do.

Humidity has been 91%+. Its just odd they stay fine till last 2 weeks. so who knows, all i care about is the babies inside looking healthy and good.

awsome pictures........thanks for sharing

Very nice!!!! I can't wait to see them out of the eggs! I was wondering what on earth you bred to get a white snake with a tiny bit of black/gray stripes :bow:

"Some of the top breeders you buy from do it earlier than day 45..."

I beg to differ, I'm not sure if it's our easy-going lifestyle up here, but in the 10+ years I've been around, the earliest I have ever heard any breeder cutting is day 50. We're not in too much of a rush to see what's in the egg, they'll come out when they're ready.

"Not all stay in till the 55-58. Some will come out day 50-60 or even day 65. "

Yes Sir, ALL. I've hatched over 1000 eggs and never once has a baby pipped before Day 53. Ever.
Must be all the clean air...

Nice looking snakes in those eggs! Thanks for sharing!

Nice snakes
