They look very cool no doubt! But they remind me of what a clutch looks like that has had a rough incubation, and infact the belly shot of one of the snakes is the biggest piece of evidence.

That makes good sense. The clutch was good, but her egg was very small and veins were threadlike and barely visible. Her egg was under a larger egg and it slowly deflated during incubation. We didn't know if this egg was going to make it, but we incubated anyway. Temp is static at 87 and humidity 85 or above, but this egg didn't seem to be getting proper gas exchange. We've had hundreds hatch out of this incubator--haven't lost one yet.
Next time we'll try flossing it away from the others although gas exchange should still occur between eggs--or perhaps it was just the poor venous system. Thanks for your observation.

The vet observed some compression pinching in the x-rays, but said she should outgrow it, and that it didn't look like fusing that he sees in some animals. The parents have been a breeding pair for several years and haven't produced anything but healthy offspring. Good observation though, thanks.
