7 Egg Clutch

[Alice]

Robin, that sucks! I've heard from some big breeders that if you dance naked in your snake room when there's a full moon the ball python gods should smile down on you! Can't hurt to try . . . . . .

So sorry Robin, my theory is if it aint a slug put it in the bator. I'd give'em a chance untill its obviously gone. Do they all look normal size?

Bummer!
Hope your others go better!

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

Thanks! Hope you don't ever have to experience it.

Congrats Robin

I'm assuming for the good clutch? LOL Thanks!

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

Yeah, maybe the pastel clutch will be all pastels!

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......

Sorry that happened to you too!

Cool! Gonna give that a try! Think it will work in a thunderstorm too, 'cause we've got a doozy right now!

Yes Raul - they look like any other fertile egg, except no veins. Same sized eggs as my other clutches.

I don't even bother candling...why stress, when I'm going to incubate them anyhow? lol

If they don't start to sink by day 3, betcha they're good, no matter what they candle like. Don't give up hope.
