clutch laid on july 5 from two normals who had never befor bred to my knowledge. There were 14 total(nine fertile and five infertile). Two are bigger than the rest and one is half the size of the normal eggs. I've been incubating them for a friend who has no incubator. The room is usually 80ish degrees so I just put them in my snake room. They started hatching yesterday after seventy someodd days. It never got above the upper 80s F or below lower 70s F, usually about 80. Three have come all of the way out so far, and two have kinks(one has about eight kinks, and the other over 12). The other baby looks fine. They all appear healthy otherwise. I don't have pics, sorry, no camera. I'm trying to figure out why there are already two kinky snakes out of the three that have hatched so far. They came from normal sized eggs. I think that the parents were related, but I'd have to check with the owner on that. I know that the parents came from the same breeder. Any ideas? I don't think that I did anything wrong with incubation, I hope I didn't!
