This really belongs on the BP forum I suppose, but I don't go there, and prefer the discussions here, lol.

Had a Ball Python drop 8 eggs the other day. She coiled perfectly around 7, leaving one out. The egg looked perfectly fine. My wife was helping me and I mentioned that the egg left out was probably no good, Even though it looked just fine. We candled them, they all candled fine. The outed egg, wasn't as veiny as the others, but it wasn't the yellowy, dud egg color either. Had I not seen it left out, I would've considered it fine.

Fast Forward, 3 days, 7 perfect eggs, one egg going downhill rapidly, and not going to make it. One guess which one. It's amazing how these animals know these things. It really did look like it had no issues, even when candling. The dam knew better.
