    Don't give up on questionable eggs!

    This egg began to mold and deflate just a few days after going in the incubator. I thought for sure I was going to lose it. Decided to add a little anti-fungal powder and leave it in there. This egg has been as deflated and moldy as it is in these pictures almost throughout the entire incubation.

    Cut this egg today on day 50 and there is a perfect little ball python in there.

    Just goes to show you why to never give up on a questionable egg!

    Amazing! If I saw that egg without cutting it to see inside, I would say 100% that its trash

    but amazingly there is a good little baby in there

    Whoohoo! Congrats. This gives me hope for my clutch! They are on day 46 today, and one of them is as deflated and bad looking, but not quite that bad. There is still hop! Thanks for the post!

    should I give up?

    Kept my incubator about 91.5 degrees and between 80 and 90 humidity. Three look bad and feel dried up. The 4th looks good, but feels dry. I bumped it up to 91 humidity and cut the eggs to try to add water. They were 50 days old on August 5. When do I give up on them?
