One of my kingsnake eggs came out not completely finished.

A little while later it grew mold over "nipple" lol, so I washed it off and this is what it looked like.

The mold is back.

Not that I'm surprised or anything, but I was wondering, since the shell seems to be thinner in that area, might I wear a hole in it if I continue cleaning it off? Or could the mold be eating away at the shell? Its probably not a big deal, but its my first "nipple" hahaha and I'm not sure how to take care of it. This has to be my most ridiculous post ever.

BTW, this is mom and dad.
