I think I need a brighter light, honestly. I didn't see anything at all until I bought this new LED light, but it's still not as clear as in those pictures. What kind of lights does everyone use, and where do you get them? Do you know the output in lumens?
(Day 49! I think they'll hatch on Saturday or Sunday, based on my previous two clutches. ARGH...)

Oh, you can see it in the pictures pretty clearly, if you know what to look for. Do you see the shadow on top of the shadow? The main shadow is the outline of the snake's body. But there's a shadow on the body, too. In the video, or real-life eggs, that shadow moves with the body. On the pied eggs, it's a very small shadow, with well-defined edges. Just a couple lines and triangles. On normal eggs, the shadow has a very obvious ball-python-pattern shape to it, and it's almost everywhere you look (except the belly, but you can still see the pattern coming down to the edge of the belly.)Originally Posted by that_dc5
It's much easier to learn what to look for if you start with normal pattern eggs.
I'm also having an easier time seeing it on my smaller eggs, I think because the snakes inside are squashed up against the walls of the egg. And I think I see at least one cinnamon in my pewter x het pied clutch.... cinnamon or pewter. PLEASE BE PEWTER, PLEASE BE PEWTER.
