    I agree with Lord Sorril ^ ^ ^ and you're truly better off just freezing all the eggs. Any resulting offspring can have both visible & internal defects, & in the long run, you'll probably regret incubating them.

    Years back I unintentionally got into breeding rosy boas after I was given one that had a single live partho baby neonate with multiple defects (one eye, bent neck, spinal bumps). I called the tiny snake "Long Shot" & she fed vigorously with a little help (from tongs) & shed about 8 times on her own, but then suddenly passed away around 8 mos. of age. From who knows what internal issue? After that, I paired up the "mom" with an unrelated male so she wouldn't make any more such babies, & she had many robust offspring (with never any defects) for a number of years thereafter.
