    Congrats!!! Sometimes the females are tricky!!


    Your eggs are fine. Sometimes you just get eggs that are a bit off colorwise.

    Re: she was gravid!!!!

    Isn't it a great feeling I would incubate them and see what develops.. eggs that are bad will have a really nasty odor and will develop almost flourescent yellow patches that give way to browns, greens and oranges. (I know this from sad experience..) But time will tell! I hope that they are fertile for you.

    Re: she was gravid!!!!

    thanks everyone, im pritty excited first clutch of ball eggs ever i just hope i dont mess them up. i have them set at 90 degrees and looking at the calender around 60 days. i read that at day 53 or so its a good idea to pull the stuck eggs apart to prevent the snakes from sliting into another snakes egg, does anybody do this??????

    Re: she was gravid!!!!

    I keep my eggs at 88 degrees to allow for a little rise in temps on warmer summer days. Most incubators heat up but don't cool down so it's good to give yoyurself a little cushion. The eggs look fine to me. Best of luck. I got a female that has me waiting, it's looking like July eggs for her.

    Re: she was gravid!!!!

    thats a smart idea i think i will lower my temps a little bit, for that so cal weather. i thought june was late but july wow ive heard its not uncommon but just seems like june july and those later months doesnt give those females as much time to recoupe for next season. thanks for the advice and best of luck with all your eggs

    Looks a bit sluggy to me. Try candling it.

    Congrats on the clutch otherwise.
