noticed one of my corns was attempting to come out of his egg this morning...i thought nothing of it and went to work...I came back for lunch, and he was in the same position, so I figured something was up...I carefully snipped away his eggshell, realizing he couldnt get out of his egg...i noticed the kinks on his upper spine, and this is what was revealed after i got him out of the egg:








basically besides a couple of severe spine kinks, the last fourth of the body is fused together...

thought i'd share this, and see if anyone else has experienced this sort of thing with the snake actually hatching out and being this deformed?
