Re: EMERGENCY HELP!!! - Quiet Tempest, I need you.
It would help to see a pic of the snakes, not the egg, but that one egg on the bottom right where you can see the snake a little bit looks to be fully colored in. I would bet they start coming out in the next 3-4 days.

Re: EMERGENCY HELP!!! - Quiet Tempest, I need you.
Yeah, the one snake I see looks fine from here.
Just keep them at 88. They will not start breathing air until they stick their nose out of the egg--don't rush them.
Perhaps the temperature of the clutch was a bit on the low side--development takes longer at a lower temperature. From the color, I agree with pfan, they should be out within a matter of days, if not sooner. Color comes in last on hatchlings.

Re: EMERGENCY HELP!!! - Quiet Tempest, I need you.
Okay here are the rest of the eggs. The one that you saw and this one are the ones that are moving. Sorry, I only have a camera phone!

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO what a ride!"

All the eggs in maternal incubation photos I've seen look a bit ugly. They look fine to me.

Re: EMERGENCY HELP!!! - Quiet Tempest, I need you.
These ones are the ones that I can't be sure if they're moving. Veins are all red, no smell, slimy, but snakes are pink - not colored like the others:
Do you think they're gonna make it?

Re: EMERGENCY HELP!!! - Quiet Tempest, I need you.
I just realized something...
This is a clutch of spider x pastel. So, I think they're all the same color-advancement. I looked closer at the ones with a lot of black color and in-between the black is still pink - the same color pink as the other 3 eggs. So, I think the 2 "colored" ones just look like they have color because they are the normal/pastel ones with more black whereas the 3 others may be spider ones so they don't have as much black.
But, the 2 "blacker" ones do show more movement than the 3 others. So, I don't know. GRRRRR....

Re: EMERGENCY HELP!!! - Quiet Tempest, I need you.
I think that second set of pictures is a bee. We just had a clutch hatch that one of the babies wasn't moving at all when I cut them. Then he was the first one out of the eggs. They do look like they are developed, the mother may have just left them because she knew they were ready to be on their own? Good luck with them.

Re: EMERGENCY HELP!!! - Quiet Tempest, I need you.
just put them in the incubator and see if they hatch, its plain and simple don't get worked up over it.

Re: EMERGENCY HELP!!! - Quiet Tempest, I need you.
Judging by all of the red veins in your photos, I would say that unless the umbilicus is knotted or wrapped around the snakes, all of them should be alive.
You sound like you are on the right path. Good luck with them.

Re: EMERGENCY HELP!!! - Quiet Tempest, I need you.
Okay, thank you all for your help so far.
I got one more question. One of the eggs seem to be dryer than the others. I have a lot of Sterile Saline Solution that I had from a few years ago to clean out a wound. Can I use this to put more water on the egg?
Incubation temps - 88.5, 85% humidity. Good? Or should I raise humidity some more?
