Why not just ask what happened instead of what ever conclusions your jumping too. Here's the deal, you and Discern only need the smallest about of bait to get your rears stuck in a trap. Truth is, I will keep setting them as long as you keep getting caught in them. All you have to do is ASK, then its ON ME!



Ok, I will pretend you asked. We received a clutch of Golden greek eggs, put them in the incubator in the described method. Dry perlite with a cup of water. Four eggs total. They started to develop veins and such normally, except one. That one candled clear and was half full of water, so I called it the half full of CLEAR water egg. The other eggs hatched in a couple months and that half full of water egg, still appeared infertile, now less then 1/2 full of a clear yellowish fluid. No vascular development what so ever. So we left it in the incubator until it rots, but it didn't rot. About three months later, my son got me and said, you have to look at this. There was a baby tort in that box of perlite. and a shell it hatched from. Why I called it infertile was, it did appear that way for the longest time, But eventually hatched. Many folks including me in the past, would have tossed that sucker.



Here's another goofy one for you, I hatched a clutch of blackheaded pythons. All hatched but one. It candled normally etc. But did not hatch. So I cut it open, it had a full vascular system. Veins, arteries and such, and no, zero, nothing for a snake, no zygote, no embryo, nada. Poop happens and poop is educational. Both of the above indeed occurred, and heck if I know how. How and why they occurred is not known, yet! maybe someday it will be.
