Infertile, but not slugs?
I would still incubate them and check for veins tomorrow. You never know. In my experiences, they're either fertile, or slugs.; no in-between.

Robin, i'm sorry to hear the bad news.

That's terrible. I'm waiting on my first clutch. Should drop soon. If that kind of thing is going to happen, it will happen to me. Hopefully yours turn out. Good luck.

It won't happen for you - sending you positive vibes!

I just had a Blood Python clutch get laid a month ago.....

And have been wiping condensation off the insides of the tubs once a week or so.

I found an egg yesterday that had a little of the white fuzzy mold on it....

Candled it and it was a gone-er, its held its shape for that long, though is a bit deflated now.

But after laying and this whole time, it looked like all the others.

Sorry to hear this, especially since yours seem bad right from the get go

Thanks - sorry to hear about the one that you lost!

Sorry to hear that Robin...we had an infertile in the last lesser clutch.

It stinks not knowing what could have been - sorry for your loss too!

Sorry to hear that. Hope you have better luck with any other clutches.

Last season we had a clutch of 4 slugs and 3 eggs. Turned out 2 of the eggs were infertile. Only got one viable egg. This year a different girl laid the same ratio of slugs to eggs and one egg died a few days ago. The embryo was starting to develop. Two good eggs from that clutch. So far I've had crappy luck all around.

Your luck has GOT to turn around soon!

sucks robin but hey they may just not of vein up yet I wa worried about my het pied clutch they veind were not very good I checked over the weekend ( about a week later) adn I could draw blood from them if i knew the egg would not lear out if i did( or needed too) lol

My fingers are crossed!

Robin,

Its pretty unusual from my experience to have an entire clutch of infertile eggs that look fine... I've had it happen though!

Sorry to hear the tough news.

Justin

Yeah, I'd never heard of that happening either - but they glow bright yellow.

One of my girls laid 9 slugs about a month and half ago.. UGH! Sorry to hear this.

That's horrible! So sorry to hear that!

That sucks. Has the male that you used sired a good clutch for you before or was this his first year breeding?

John, he sired a good clutch for me last year and produced two beautiful mojaves. I bred him to my black back female hoping to produce some really pretty mojo's this year.

I had my big girl lay me 12 of them this year.(Slugs) She had already laid me two clutches from the years before that where fine. They all looked good too. The only thing I can think of is I had a Thermostat fail It was out for a few days. This was before she laid them.

Wow - that's hearbreaking - so sorry to hear that happened to you too.

Sorry to hear that

Thanks!

Ah nuts,

Sorry to hear that.

Thanks Derek.

Infertile, but not slugs?
I would still incubate them and check for veins tomorrow. You never know. In my experiences, they're either fertile, or slugs.; no in-between.

I'm incubating them, I put them in the incubator on Sunday, candled them again yesterday - still no good - but like I said - I'm hoping that by some miracle veins start to form. Maybe some pixie dust will help - know where I can find some?

Robin, i'm sorry to hear the bad news.

Thanks - on the positive side, I have seven FERTILE eggs from a gorgeous reduced pattern female and my lemon pastel laid last week.

Bummer!
Hope your others go better!

I've heard of the infertile eggs, but haven't experienced it yet.

[Royal Morphz]

Congrats Robin

[MissDixie]

Awww....Robin, i'm sorry....that's not something we've experienced here but I've heard that it happens from time to time. Maybe this is karma's way of giving you a different clutch of absolutely perfect snakies next time

I had clutch of 7 eggs laid on 5/27 all infertile......eggs looked a little small but viable, but no veins. I went ahead and incubated them anyway. They started to smell just a little by 3rd week so I trashed them...... BUMMED ME OUT......I don't know what it is this year with all these 7 egg clutches slugging out, but counting yours and mine seems like there have been a dozen of em, and a few have been het pied x to het pied pairings........I don't name any of my snakes but this girl now has one.....Sluggo......
