First ever clutch, unsure of health... help!

[TJsBalls]

So my girlfriend and I have been keeping snakes for a while now, and attempting to breed. We keep BP's and Corns. Well we finally got a clutch from our amel girl Isis.
We bred her to our male ghost Creeper. We woke up to 14 eggs this morning!! I've attached a pic of the clutch in the incubation box, and I'm hoping someone can confirm that they look viable. This being our first clutch, I just want to be sure. Thanks!!


I am a little concerned, as they dont look clean white like pics I've seen, so fingers crossed!

Did she have a lay box? If so what was the substrate used?

Im not too familiar with corn eggs but those look the same color as bp slugs... Have you tried candling them to see if u can see anything?

[TJsBalls]

She did have a lay box, which she decided to lay on top of, instead of in the comfy cozy perlite/vermiculite substrate inside of it. I haven't candled the eggs yet, all I had time to do was move the eggs to the incubator and run out the door for work. I plan on candling them when I get home, I just can't stop worrying about them in the meantime!

usually yellow eggs are a sign of infertility... candle them and try and incubate. A fertile egg tends to stay white. If they get any yellower then they are definatly infertile. You usually have a time frame of when to grab them and its really only a couple hours after they lay..as some may argue that. Candle and if you see some veins give the whole incubation a try if they sour then it wasn't meant to be. and try again. Oh you didn't turn the eggs did you? Thats a NO NO with reptile eggs. Take them the way she laid them and place in your incubator that way. Good luck my friend.

Yeah i was going to say they all look pretty yellow.

Looks like you slugged out.

[TJsBalls]

Well, just for home from work, and the first thing I did was candle the eggs. I'm happy (for now) to report that 13 out if 14 eggs have strong veining. So here's hoping these little eggs beat the odds and hatch out for us! Thanks for all the replies folks, I'll keep updates coming

Are you shooting for more clutches from them or just that one?
