The eggs are still quite plump.

I just cut one open a bit, peeled back some of the shell. Wow, that shell's a bit tough, I dont know how they do it.

I was able to expose a good bit of healthy looking little baby corn snake, bit didnt see any signs of life at all the entire time I was working with the egg. It wasnt until I tapped the actual snake with the tip of the Exacto knife that it flinched a tiny bit and shied away from it. So, there's life in them thar eggs, but there still seems to be a lot of clear albumin around the snake. I dont know how much is normal. It still mostly seems to be encased in it's inner sac, so I'll give them a few more days before I go cutting into anything else. I dont wanna prematurely kill them if they need a few more days.



*sigh*



The patience is killing me, and I'm KNOWN for a patient kinda guy too. It's the unknown part that scares me.
