for starters we had no idea what was in the egg, like i said earlier. the owner found a lot of the eggs in a pile of dirt that was transported to him. he said it had been on his kitchen table in a drinking glass for 2 days before bringing it in. he wanted to know, so i let him know. im sorry the snake died but the DOCTOR said the odds of it still being alive after all of the shifting and stress the egg endured as well as the time period it was in air conditioning, the odds of it living were slim.
