Hi community,
I'm looking for the reason behind a not-so-successful clutch. I incubated 6 eggs at a temperature of 31.9°C. The first two pythons started pipping on day 65, and on that same day I cut the remaining eggs.
The problem was that almost all the hatchlings, except one, had poorly absorbed yolk sacs. The remaining yolk was really large.
I'm trying to figure out where the mistake might have happened. I'm 100% sure about the temperature, as I had both a thermostat probe and an independent thermometer directly in the egg box.
I incubated the eggs in vermiculite with a 50/50 water ratio.

I'd appreciate any ideas or suggestions.
