Cutting Clutch 2

[RichsBallPythons]

Cutting them so early can't really help much as far as the humidity....maybe that is what is causing them to do that.

Doubt it, Jas cuts day 30 no problems, Bryan here cut same day i did and no problems. I truly think it was just a humidity issue from air exchanging. No one will ever figure it out as eggs arent perfect.

I have only hatched out a few over the past three years, but I never saw any like those.

They just started looking like that in last week. Once they started dimpling they begain looking like that. Nothing i can do as i could care less how eggs look as long as the baby inside is healthy.

Never had one die in the egg or not be healthy,

Also Humidity might play a role in them as well for being like that.

Hey Rich,

Last year I had one clutch dimple, this year I have had none dimple(I have cut 2 ckutches already and I am cutting the third on Monday next week). I am adding a few more grams of water this year than last though. So I wonder if it is a humidity issue you are having. But, you are using the substrateless method. You should have a perfect humidity percentage...

Yea i soak the vermiculite with a lot of water like usual. And i dont check on eggs till day 40 and add water if needed. They only dimple when they get closer to hatching. Always have since i been breeding. Some dont dimple at all some do.

Humidity has been 91%+. Its just odd they stay fine till last 2 weeks. so who knows, all i care about is the babies inside looking healthy and good.

Very nice!!!! I can't wait to see them out of the eggs! I was wondering what on earth you bred to get a white snake with a tiny bit of black/gray stripes

"Some of the top breeders you buy from do it earlier than day 45..."

I beg to differ, I'm not sure if it's our easy-going lifestyle up here, but in the 10+ years I've been around, the earliest I have ever heard any breeder cutting is day 50. We're not in too much of a rush to see what's in the egg, they'll come out when they're ready.

"Not all stay in till the 55-58. Some will come out day 50-60 or even day 65. "

Yes Sir, ALL. I've hatched over 1000 eggs and never once has a baby pipped before Day 53. Ever.
Must be all the clean air...
