Boob egg

Last april 20, my female bp just dropped 6eggs after her pre lay shed last march 18. Two of these 6 eggs are boob. Should I be worried?and how would I know if I am doing the right job in incubating the eggs.The temperature is around 89F. Please let me know how would I know if the eggs are still in good shape.http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/04...dc15da1a5c.jpg

I'm not seeing the two boob eggs? I think I see one, but it doesn't look so bad to me. Do they all candle with good veins? Most of what I've read says boob eggs do just fine, so as long as they candle well and seem in good shape I wouldn't worry so much.

Thank you for your response. Before putting them into the incubator, I candled it and saw veins on it. This is my first time so your help is much appreciated. :)

That doesn't look that bad. I've seen people hatch snake out of boob eggs that look like this:

Like Diaga said, if it's got good veins, you're probably golden, no special care or adjustment required.

Hope this answers your question...

Thank you guys for your help. I'm just so excited. Wish me luck. :)

Since this Is my first time in incubating eggs, I don't know yet if the eggs are still in good condition. I observed after a week in the incubator, the eggs has dimpled a bit. Like this [IMG]http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/04...5ce5cd5716.jpg[IMG]

They look fine. They will dimple a bit. If you notice the dimples getting deeper then it is likely that your humidity is too low. Aim for 100% RH.

Thank you very much for your quick response. This waiting game is killing me softly. Lol

the snake in the boob egg is likely very little. I would suggest you do NOT cut these eggs... let them pip naturally. It may take 60 days or so.

I squeed. Such an adorable little hatchling.

update! they are all hatched. the pairing was het.axanthic to a axanthic. the female was sold to me as het.axanthic. i have 6 eggs but all of them are normal looking snakes and no axanthic at all. am i just not lucky enough to hit axanthic or should i be get worried to my fem het.axanthic,she might be just normal.? is there any markers on how to identify a het.axanthic from a normal?tiahttp://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/06...b8c32d4fc0.jpg

Hey, great job! Congrats on getting through the incubation process. They all look very healthy. :gj: Just bc you didn't hit with the odds gods this time doesn't mean your female is not het axanthic. Decide which hatchling has the most potential and hold him or her back to line breed.

thanks! :) but i am still confused what to look for in dealing with a het.axanthic and normal.i know that they are all normal looking bp but are possible het axanthics. just wondering what markers to look for like the markers they have for het pieds hehe :)

where both parents het. Axanthic? or was 1 of them a visual Axanthic?

are both parents of the same line of Axanthics or different lines? (VPI, SK, Joliff)

The male is a visual axanthic while the female is a het axanthic

Both of them are vpi

ok well then atleast you know all hatchlings are het. Axanthic.

I would keep back the lightest colored female (just to be sure, in case mam turns out not to be het. Axanthic)

unfortunately, the female is het axanthic but not the same line with my male axanthic.should i keep a male and breed it to its female sibling?

Keep a female and breed it back to the sire. That way you have much higher odds of getting visuals than with het to het.
