Clutch 6 cut (Megaboobegg clutch)

Killerbee sire x Enchi

Out of six eggs two were definant slugs so we got rid of them. Two others were about 3/4 slug en atleast half the size of the regular eggs. We eventually decided to incubate them and see what happens. The slugpart turned bad and we had to remove fungus and mold off them on a daily basis. The bad part of the eggs remained intact and the small "healthy" part still showed signs of life every time we candled. Now 52 days in incubation we decided to cut the eggs.

Has anyone here experienced anything like this? How did u deal with it and what did it result to? The 2 minisnakes clearly lack room for growing and development. I don't know how to solve this. Do I make a big hole and give them more space so they can grow or should i just leave it like this and see what happens?

Either way I give them a small chance of making it and realize the chances of being deformed are real.

That's crazy! All that matters is there is life in the egg! :)

I was just going to post this as well. He hatched out a micro bumblebee, def check that thread out and contact Gefu. Keep us posted.

The 2 smaller baby's both died. They never had a chance, due to a lack of space to grow they both had deformities and died eventually.

It would have probably been a bumblebee and a pastel enchi.

Sorry to hear about that. I just had a bit of a rough clutch also

sorry, thats never good to hear. im surprised you got the eggs to last that long tho. looks like they wouldve been some good looking snakes

How did they come out of the eggs, on the first day of cutting?
Why isn't any of their yolk absorbed?

They didnt come out. We took them out of their eggs after we realised they were both dead.

Wow they were tiny and beautiful! Good luck with the other two eggs!

Other 2 eggs almost ready

The pics of those tiny babies breaks my heart, poor things.You gave them the best chance they had and did well, sorry they didn't make it. Congrats on the TWINS!

poor tiny babies!

cute little twins!!!

Really sorry that the little ones didn't make it. But congrats on the others and twins no less!

Thnx for the replys guys.
We're incredibly happy with our first set of twins. Especially since the remaining 3 babys are enchi-bumblebees :D

we had the exact thing happen this year. we ended up losing the whole clutch, though. the clutch was laid 86 days after ovulation, we got 2 slugs, 1 megaboobegg, 1 egg with a small boob-spot, and one "good" egg.

one died very early in and i got rid of it. the 2nd died at about day 45 and i cut it, i think it was a normal but i'm not sure.

the third (the megaboobegg) i cut open on day 52 expecting it to be dead. it was dead, and severely kinked. i guess because it didn't have room to grow.

i will be posting a separate thread with photos of my clutch.

sorry to hear about your losses! hope the twins do okay, though!

A bittersweet post.
Sorry for your loss. But like everyone else said, congrats on the twins.
That must have been a nice surprise. :)

Theyre out! :D
Twins are both males, the other a female
