    Re: Snakes and Stones

    Photo #102



    Orange Ghost adult with a piece of dendritic agate/chalcedony.
    Even though the female is about 5 years old you can see just a little bit of the orange in the head.
    My 'normal' expression OG's have no yellows/orange as adults and look like regular Hypos.

    Breeders Note 7/21/21: Half the eggs in my time lapse Clutch# 4 started to die in the last few days prior to hatch (Day 57). The remaining four are hatching normally (three are out). 50% mortality in one of my clutches is the worst I've seen in years. So, my question is: What happened? I know my time lapse incubator has slightly shaky temps due the heat generated from lighting/cameras/overall lower insulation value. Upon necropsy of the failed eggs I see that the snakes are not well formed. It appears they are what I would expect for three weeks of growth. My records shows a matching time frame where there was both a heat wave and a power outage for aprox. 24hrs., with no electricity and no ambient air conditioning the eggs went slightly above 92F. Even though the eggs did not die immediately...it seems their development was interrupted.
    Had I not dissected the failed eggs I would have wondered if cutting the eggs at the first sign of trouble would have helped, and the answer is 'no' it would not. This is one of those situations where a brief lapse in incubation conditions shows up at the very end.
    Just thought I'd share.
