Really curious as to what the issue may be, considering how rare it seems. I'll try to keep this thread up to date with pics as the eggs progress.

Re: Eggs candling green?
My sarcastic hope was that the egg only turned green like that when you've hit a 5 gene snake . . . I'm guessing that's not it . . . I just hope the little guy comes out ok.

I'm wondering if it is some sort of bacterial growth inside the egg?

Okay, after doing a whole bunch of searching (I am very curious). The egg "white" of an egg is called the albumin. Inside the Albumin is a higher then normal level of B2 which cause a green (glow in the dark) tint to eggs. It is not super harmful. B2 is essential to blood cell production. There is no smell to the egg and should incubate as normal.
I also read somewhere that it makes the shell harder and turns the albumin into a gel like substance. It can also "stain" the yolk green.
I am not 100% sure of this though, if it is or is not the issue. But I thought I would throw it out there and you can research it yourself if you feel up to it.

Wow, thanks for the research, very interesting. I'll have to do some more reading.
Sounds like, if it is this increase in B2 levels, that I maybe shouldn't be too worried, as it doesn't seem too terribly harmful and there probably isn't much that I can do anyways.
