I had an egg that I was a little worried about -- at the 30 day mark when I candled the clutch I could see all the snakes sitting in their eggs except one. Candled at day 40 there were beautiful little babies with complete patterns just waiting to be born -- except the one. At day 50 and still no real signs of a snake -- I decided the egg was probably bad and decided to cut - I saw a really underdeveloped snake and I could see it's heart outside of it's chest beating. It was really sad -- but inside the egg it was hard to tell the severity of the deformity -- so at day 52 I decided to pull the snake out of the egg and found this:





The poor dude died shorty after pulling him out of the egg.

Rest of the babies are doing great -- sometimes things just don't go right.

I'd had a similar problem with an egg from a WC girl -- but this one was from a CBB girl.
