    Re: so turns out my thermometer in my incubator was off... by like 10 degrees!

    Pictures of? the eggs? they are pretty standard lol.
    I have one picture of the egg I cut. but I will reiterate, I cut a small flap, and then when all i saw was white- I assumed it was rotten (I have had to chuck an egg from a different clutch a while ago it was rotting and candled clear so i cut it open to see if anything developed at all (like an autopsy) so I can look up what the problem was to see if it might be a problem with incubation or with the egg itself) anyways when i cut this egg and saw the white and absolutely no sign of a snake I assumed it was rotten as well (it looked the same as a dud egg) so I just ripped the flap open with no care whatsoever. only when i had done this did i realize that there indeed was a snake in there- just much much younger than would be expected by day 52. So I can share that photo if you would like but to me it is just sad, since it is basically a photo of a snake i killed. so yes I have that photo. I didn't take a photo when the cut egg eventually rotted. It smelled terrible but i still did take it apart to see just what had developed, but I didn't take a photo of that, i was just upset and didn't think of it. btw it was a perfect little snake and made me feel 10 x worse to know it would have been fine if I had just left it alone, maybe 5 inches long and the thickest part was about the size of a dime? it's hard to remember.

    how many posts do I need before I can add a photo? I can't as of yet
