Egg Rolls......Help!

sebring Apr 10, 2008 04:25 PM

Hello all,

I have some eggs from a carpet pythons that she laid about 3 days ago. I just checked them and I accidently rolled about 3 or 4 of the eggs. I put them back in place but not exactly sure if they were in the same way when they were laid.

I have heard about the egg poles and that it can be bad for the embryos...I'm really worried that I made a bad mistake. Can anyone help with advice/tips/experiences. Next time I will definitely mark the eggs as to which side is up to avoid this bush league mistake. Thanks,

sebring

Time will tell, there has been little experimentation with such things. It is not advisable to rotate them but MANY eggs have hatched for many people who have made the same mistake you have. If they where fertile to begin with, you will know if any damage was caused before long. Early on I do not believe there would be a problem to be honest.
