I think the temperature spike was the culprit in my neonate pyro having defects. The clutch of pyros was a month ahead of the clutch of bulls on hatching date. Other factors could have been in play, though. In the case of the bull snake, that was a surprise first clutch from young but very robust parents. The baby that turned the wrong way had been breathing with its head out of the egg, but for some reason I am still mulling over it then pointed its snout back in the egg and drowned. I have considered maybe when I opened the incubator to check on the eggs during pipping I may have frightened it, and it tried to hide in the only place available to it, the egg. I will try to not disturb them so much during pipping this time.
