    Thumbs up Inside a ball python egg ....

    Well here are some picture's i took tonight while checking eggs to make sure their OK! Was a great experience to do this... You can actually see the snake growing on the bottom of the egg.

    Figured i would share them with everyone, Because i thought they were neat!
    Sorry for the last blurry picture.

    Nice pictures but if the eggs are rotated just a little while handling them during incubation it can kill them.

    That's not actually true. I've had an egg roll out of the pile not once but twice and had to return it to mom's coils and it hatched out without any trouble.


    There was also an experiment carried out on eggs to see what effect this had, if any, on the embryos growing inside eggs that were turned at different times during incubation.

    Not trying to burst your bubble but I've seen people get so panicky just because they might have accidentally turned an egg one way or another and think they've doomed the baby. Just one less issue to fret over with eggs.

    Thanks Everyone! And Drumsinthenight, i've had eggs fall off my rack once from the top due to a snake getting out and knocking them off... The babies hatched out perfectly fine and these eggs were actually brought to me from 4 hours away by car from a friend and their perfectly fine! I wouldn't recommend moving them in the car but this was an emergency situation and it had to be done but everything turned out Perfectly fine!

    And no worries, i wasn't holding the eggs while taking these pictures, my friend was... So we were extra careful with them so that nothing happened.


    here is another picture... Same batch of eggs... This one is kind of blurry too...


    <<<< You can see the baby in the right hand side this time >>>>>

    And here are the eggs with normal light and back safe and sound in their containers...
