Hi everyone,
This year I had big problems with breeding/ incubation eggs. I hope you can help me with finding reasons of this situation.
Firstly I must told you I have drastic photography of my dead babies but I don't publish it yet. I will put it after asking about it in comments.
Any way let's start from begging.
Last year I without any problems breed my animals and incubate them (7 eggs - 7 living without problems animals).
This year I breed my Pastel female (virgin) to my Pinstripe male (virgin) {different pair then previously}.
I get 5 eggs from this paring.
I set my incubator like last year.
Unfortunately - one egg start mildew around 38 days of incubation, I trying clean it paper towels to do anything.
But I loose and it was totally mildew so I removed it from incubator, cut it and inside find deformated babie with fused/conned (used translator for this word) stomach, unabsorbed yolk (if it's good word) and yolk was almost like old butter- dense, hard and dark yellow color.
[I have photo how it's look like]
48 days of incubation they start hatching.
One of them almost fully go out and die - didn't absorb yolk, and it's look like yolk - when it trying go out - pull out it stomach (I hope you know what I mean, from head to yolk snake looks empty)
[I have photo how it's look like]
Other 3 eggs wasn't great to. It isn't have big blood connection so when I cut it for easier go out, it doesn't blooding.
Eggs looks like dry - snakes don't be slippery, covered with slime. Snakes looks more like you know covered dry slime (like dry skin).
Any one can help me find reasons of this situation?
I think it can be some genetic problems.
But it's not o want to know how in future prevent this kind of situation.
