    Incubation issue?

    So we had some incubation issues with my clown clutch (figures) and righted it. Three of the eggs were no good but the last one seemed to be alright so we left it to term. This little one finally came out of the egg today but has an oddly shaped head IMO. Is this an incubation issue? Normal and they'll out grow it? Thanks for any info!

    Incubation issue?

    Does look a little strange to me. It almost looks like the eyes are different sizes? But I’m no expert. His pattern and coloring is interesting too, with such a light head. What was the pairing? Is he just a regular clown?

    Looks to me like maybe the snake is just lacking some fat on its head. He looks pretty slender, did he absorb all of his yolk? I’ve heard of and seen some pictures of hatchlings like that that have oddly shaped heads like that (particularly from babies who didn’t absorb their yolk well or had other issues during development) and from what I understand after a couple meals the “hollowness” on the sides usually fills out.

    The eyes do kind of look funky, could just be the perspective of the photo though.
