That's terrible, I've very sorry to hear about it. I have a male pastel and female cinny that I want to breed to make some pewters myself, so I can empathize. Twins!! Talk about a ball buster, again I'm sorry, and I hope that you hit on the pewter again next year.

I do want to piggyback onto this post/incident - I've never bred BPs but I've lost corn snake eggs to mold. I am thinking that when I hopefully get my first BP eggs next year I will go substrateless. Also, I read about everyone cutting their eggs and I always see warnings about not letting them dry out after doing this and also about how it opens up the babies inside for infection. I personally don't plan to cut any eggs, even once they pip themselves, as these guys have been getting out of thier eggs for likely hundreds of thousands of years on their own just fine. Do you think that cutting is what allowed the mold into the eggs? I sure hope not.
