Not sure if this is a morph or not, but I've seen a few early stage burmese, and none looked even close to this one. It will be very interesting to see what the rest of the clutch looks like when they hatch. If the clutch was laid on April 21st, with full term maternal incubation, they would have hatched on June 16th. The artificial incubation will usually extend the hatch date a few days due to the typically lower temps.



The water you sprayed on the eggs would have no adverse effects on them what so ever. They most likely went bad due to infertility or from congenital defects with the embryos. It is almost impossible to get burmese eggs too damp unless they are standing in a pool of water. I have used maternal incubation with burmese many times in the past, and would heavily spray the female once a day with water, allowing it to flow down through the egg mass. As you experienced, the challenge of maternal incubation is not too much humidity, it's keeping the humidity high enough to avoid dessicating the eggs. Good luck and let us know how it turns out.
