While watching the past 5 days, one egg in a clutch of 7 shows growing stretch marks as shown below. The egg candles well with red showing on the top portion but growing smaller the past 10 days as the neonate(s!?!) grow inside. All the eggs have grown through incubation and I'm now waiting for the pipping to begin. Patience is a a vertue, and I know they are close now. I have had success with Corns for 4 years now and this is the first Milk (albino Neson's) snake clutch for me. Milk snake eggs seem to be noticably 'tougher' than corn snake eggs and makes me a bit nervous as to the hatchlings percing a slitting on thier own. Just have to remember that they have been doing this on their own for millions of years....

Can't wait to see what pops out.
