egg role

[dmaricle]

ok i was candling last night and and one of the eggs rolled over it was upside down for about 10 seconds before i could correct it. the clutch is about 34 days into incubation. do yall think it will be ok.

Shouldn't be anything to worry about.

i dont know but really good question... incase i ever go through that !

[dmaricle]

i have a feeling it will be fine due to how far it is in incubation but i would like to hear others who have had this happen.

i seem remember another poster here that did an experiment and determined that the egg flipping shouldn't cause any problems.

I think that was Tim Bailey, and the experiment is still goin on (I think)

There is a thread and it is Tim's. I'm not svy enough to link to it bu it came out in the last 2 or 3 weeks. According to my memory he flipped an egg early in the incubation and left it. The animal inside and the yolk adjusted to the new position over time. He said he would flip one later in the incubation cycle when he thought he had one he could afford to lose if it went bad. Thats what I remember.

Dylan,
I think your egg will be fine. That was not enough time to hurt the snake. Also, I was thinking this morning on my drive to work about the need to post an update on my other thread. I will check both eggs when I get home today and post up the update. Last I checked they were both still fine.

p.s. for those that were wondering, I did flip a second egg that was 2 days in to incubation, as a second experiment.
