When I bred a few snakes, I always gently separated the eggs immediately...& yes, it's time consuming & not without risks, but I never lost any that way...there
are tricks to successfully separating them. I preferred them separated so that if any went bad, I could easily toss them without having to worry about mold or flies
affecting the adhering good eggs.
But after 27 days, you'd NOT want to re-orient any of your eggs...you are "committed" to their positions. And no one moves them around in nature.![]()
