Baby snake in egg goo question: How do they breathe? I assume they're getting nutrients from the yolk, oxygen from the blood...or am I wrong? Is the urge to use that ol' egg tooth a need to break through the egg goo and breathe or...what's the transition? Do they still have egg goo in their itty bitty noses?
In that last picture - is that the egg tooth? Very cool! I'm contemplating cutting tonight, or waiting until Saturday on mine (Day 51 today). I'd cut today if I knew they'd all come out of the eggs before I leave.
I planned to take two clutches with me so I wouldn't miss their hatching (the other clutch is Day 52 on Saturday).
