Al I can say is that so far this season since using the new nesting, one of the things I have noticed is that it is taking roughly 24 hours before vascular systems start showing.



I have also hatched neonates from eggs that looked like yellow bags of piss in the start of incubation. I keep eggs in the incubator until they start to rot. Even if they grow a santa beard, I keep them incubationg. I have noticed that mold is not a problem or an egg killer. Eggs or embryos that are weak are subceptible to mold. Healthy and strong eggs can be right next to moldy eggs without ever being affected.



Rusty,

If you think your eggs are bad, feeding them off to other snakes is the perfect thing to do. Snakes get some healthy variety added to the diet, and the energy it took they laying female to lay them is not totally wasted. Get a varanid. They even eat the rotten ones unlike snakes. LOL
