What a great behavior. There is so much we do not understand. For instance, pythons are known to remove infertile and dead eggs and coil around eggs that are viable.



Varanids commonly consume infertiles if there are both viable and infertiles in a clutch.



The problem with seeing these behaviors is, we commonly do not support them in ways that will express "natural behaviors"



For instance, I have photograghed varanids, moving eggs. That is, laying them in one place and moving them to another to nest. I have had pythons do this also. So much to learn, so little time. Cheers
