I prolly won't be able to sleep tonight...

Yes that is the yolk sack.Once they either come out or before they absorb it.

No movements yet - should I tear them out?

Getting concerned...

One egg has a lot of dark-ish fluid in it, the other two are "dry"...


Robb

Another check today,

the yolk bag is kinda big (still) - can it be that it takes them forver to hatch?

Absolutely no sign of movement but also not of being foul.
:confused: :confused: :confused: :confused:


So,
anybody ideas?

Temp in incubator: 88,9°F (+/- 0,2°)

Robb

Hi,


Is the yolk getting smaller? If so how quickly?

Are there any signs that movement has occured when you weren't looking? say like take pics of each hatchling and check for changes of pattern/position the next day?

Possibly even sprinkle on a little line of peices of vermic across the window (not sure of this one as it is introducing foreign matter into the egg and could cause problems).

I don't have the experience to help you on this though - posibly you could try emailing one of the larger breeders to ask if they have any opinions?

I hope their ok.:(

Is it possible you could show a few pics? They should have been out allready

Any update ???

I hope this works out for you ....

I have NO clue what is going on here...

No movements of the snakes, also no sign of them starting to foul - but they are WAYYYY over their time limit.

I'll just wait I guess...


Robb

DEAD!

All three are dead and smelling rotten - no idea what killed them, they looked healthy til the last day.

I'm destroyed - guess I'll give up,
17eggs - only three were fertile and they died in the last two weeks before pippin - what went wrong?


I need a drink...


Robb :confused:

oh wow that sucks. perhaps you could share your experience. what the temps and humidity was for the entire process etc. the more details you can give the better.

sending hugs to you :hug:

If you give up now you will never know the joy of watching that first little head pip out of the shell and duck back in when you try to get a peek ;) .
