Well, after around a week and a half's incubation at 30 C, all the eggs have shown very pronounced development and are now reall well-veined throughout. I'm very curious why it is that boomsland's reproduction is so "slow" compared to most snakes, because it's obvious that when she laid her eggs initially, they hadn't developed much at all and I was just having to guess at maybe seeing the place where the embryo was in them. My other colubrids that I've had lay so far this year have all laid very developed eggs with really pronounced veination. I guess that would explain kingsnakes' incubation at 55 days, and boomslangs' at closer to 90. Ah well...the wait continues. Thanks for reading.
