Movement in Eggs

[bkelley02]

This is only my second season with clutches, but have a question that I could not find an answer to. I have a clutch that was laid 2 weeks ago and I'm already seeing lots of movement inside the eggs when I candle. Is this normal? I've not noticed that in any of the other clutches before ( 2 last season and 5 in the incubator now). Granted these are some of the largest eggs I have at close to 120 grams each.

Anyone else notice this or do I need to get some snake meds for the hyper-active snakes that will be hatching in about 5 weeks?

Hope everyone is having a great season!

Personally I would look at that as a good sign! Congrats!

Thanks, and believe me, I'm very happy to see that. I was just extremely surprised to see that so early. I missed the date of her pre-lay shed so she may have held them longer then usual. Maybe that allows them to develop more before laying? Who knows. Just need to keep my eye on them.

Thanks,

Brian
