I have heard that temperature spikes during incubation can disrupt fetal development. Last year in my pyro clutch I had one with a kinked tail which only lived a few weeks. Also in my bull snake clutch I had one go full term but for some reason turned inward instead of outward after pipping and drowned its poor little self in the egg. It was otherwise normal. There was a period last summer when the incubator got as high as 84 F briefly during a heat wave, and I was not at home to put the icepacks in to regulate it as usual. I think that was what caused the defective ones. I try to keep the temps between 77 and 81.5 F.
