    Egg question for the more experienced

    I am at day 50 with my eggs. I have been looking at all the threads of cut eggs and noticed the snakes filled the whole egg when cut around the same time. I candled my eggs today and I can see patterns on a few snakes but they only seem to take up half the egg or so. I can see the dark shadow in the bottom quarter of the egg on all of them and all have good veins though they have been getting smaller. I have been incubating at 89 degrees and 4 of the 8 have dimpled they all seem alive and well but shoudn't they be taking up more of the egg?

    I just cut mine today.... Trust me

    They take up a lot more than you think....
    It's surprising how big they are.
    The ones I cut were following the first pip and even that first pop looked like a super tiny thing...


    They really are much larger than you can see from outside
