Ross,



When I hatched out Cal kings, I was fortunate to have a very good success ratio, but, there was a few eggs in a few instances that were just like yours. They looked perfect in the beginning, and over time, did exactly what yours pictured did. However, when I cut them open, there was nothing inside, and all along, they were just simply bad eggs from the start. Did you cut those open?



I never believed in a good snake egg going bad, for the most part. Always possible it can happen, but good eggs can also appear to be shoddy and end up hatching healthy babies. Buddy of mine had a little saying: " A good egg is a good egg is a good egg. " There were also a few times where some eggs looked bad, even kinda smelled, and I had kings hatch from them as well. My example though was not the worst. Same friend of mine would hatch kings, splendidas when I saw it, from eggs completely covered in mold, looking literally like eggs erupting from underneath green golf turf! It was a trip.



So, IMO Ross, the master of Cal King herping, they simply were just bad eggs from the start.
