Hi all,
i am not new to keeping Ball Pythons but i never bred them before. So i am not experienced with this and that.
I have a clutch with three eggs. After the first one piping out on day 63 i cut the other two. One of them pipe out after that, too.
the last one is alive cause he is moving but it didnt come out jet, so i take a closer look. I noticed that it has a quite thick umbilical chord on the Belly and i realy dont know if it is normal. I m familiar with the umbilical chords from Boas when they born, they are maybe 2 mm in diameter. But this is massive for me!
Or is it normal looking like this, when they absorb the yolk before they leave the egg?
I m affraid that it is become a hard belly. Or am i worrying for nothing and this is total normal looking? Please help!

Oh i forgot to mention that the liquid in this egg looks a little "milky" too. The other two eggs liquid was a little clearer, in my opinion!


Thank you and Greetings from Germany!
