Here's a head scratcher!

nice looking wonder what it is

Top shelf is reading 85f. Mum is in blue and looking miserable at the moment, so no point trying to photograph her. Have looked at all the babies again this morning, they are still in bed, but from the look of them they should be out sometime this week. :D

Sometime this week? :S how early did you cut? I let mine pip on their own and they're usually out within 24-48 hrs

Sorry, just got back on the comp and te-read. Day 76 but maybe being incubated at around 85 could definitely cause the weird coloration! Come on baby!!

We're they incubated on the top shelf at 85?

Yes top shelf at 85f, I don't think it's incubation temperature with this one, but time will tell what happens, it's going to be fun finding out :)

Subscribed to see what comes of this little one!

As soon as they are out I will get photographs, and then update after their first shed, and then as they grow, assuming they all do well and everything goes well with them. :D

Whatever is inside looks outstanding! But dang, you hacked those eggs a little early?? Hope everything goes ok, can't wait to see it out.

Not exactly the birthday present I was hoping for, poor little Tony the Tiger didn't make it. As you can see from the photos the whole bottom half of the egg is a semi solid lump with veins. It wasn't attached to him in any way, but he is TINY, and even if he had made it out I don't think he would have survived.

On the bright side, mum and dad are both healthy and two of the other 4 babies have their heads out now and have been mooching as there is vermiculite in their eggs, the other two should have heads out by tomorrow I think.

I will probably try the same pairing next year, and I am holding the other 4 babies back.

Ohhh,.,., I' so sorry to hear this. It's always a terriable thing to loose a snake. Regardless of the situation.

Keep those holdbacks and hopefully you'll figure out what's going on here.
