>>I would assume that the eggs were kept to moist and the yolk came back out of the under belly. I got a beautiful abberant hypo like that from norm damm; yolk came back out of the early hatching clutch and they had only eaten 1 deer mouse each, besides mine had eaten a pinkie. It's doing fine and is beautiful. It may live. I hope you don't mean freeze it alive. Keep it and care for it, could end up a fine snake.

Sean,



Can you elaborate? Yolk's what is in the egg and is absorbed (and utilized) by the developing embryo. Once it's "in" the snake, absorbed, it's not there as yolk to come back out. So perhaps you're describing a situation in which the belly slit had not sealed and the vessel thru which the yolk is absorbed was still connected? But you also seem to be describing something that happened after some animals had already eaten, possibly (because of having eaten) had already shed? Which suggests they'd have been 10 days old or older, when something came back out of them? Out thru a belly slit that re-opened? Or...?



Or maybe i misread your post. But it'd be great if you'd clarify.



thanks

terry
