Well, it all ended as far as this egg was concerned today. We looked in to see how things were going in the r-maid and were greeted by the worst stench I have ever smelled coming out of the egg. We decided to slit the egg, to see what was really going on in there, and the yolk and veins were black mostly; smelled like a rotting corpse. I think that since the yolk was rotting, and had to have been for awhile now, it was only a matter of time before the entire snake died. It was very misshapen and deformed lokoing as you can see from the pic.
This actually happened with the other eggs, though it was right away; they all had this similar smell of death and the rotting.
I am pretty damned upset right now; I just know that this snake was dead before we slit it today. The yolk was black and disgusting and the snake actually was seperated from the sac at the cord; seemed like it was bleeding into the egg and when we took it out, the blood was already in the shell. I have no idea how this happened; we never flipped the egg during candling, never dropped it or anything. I guess mother nature can be a cruel wench sometimes. Here is the pic.. I am really upset.
