RE: When to cut open eggs?

I had the exact same experience with a honduran milk that was very large and otherwise well formed. It seems to have drowned in the egg trying to maneuver around. It was an odd looking snake.



I usually will slit the last egg after a couple of days since others have hatched, and then leave it alone to emerge as it wishes. The corn snake I mentioned in an earlier post seemed completely lifeless after 3 days, so I decided to check it out. I was flabbergasted to find it alive. You just can't always tell.
