Yeah,

They stay that color for awhile before they turn white, that's actually their blood showing.

Just awesome Frank. This whole egg thing is really pretty cool. Did you separate your eggs before putting them into the incubation container? From what I saw just now my Brooks is laying her clutch in a pile. Pretty much a newbie when it comes to eggs.
Thanks for sharing and give up some experience!

Her second clutch of the year was adhered together because I didn't get them early on and the "glue" hardened.

This first clutch I got very early as I was home when she first finished laying and they where not stuck together yet in a pile.

The other clutch is in 3 little piles with a few ones not stuck together. If you give female time she will pile them and or lay in a complete pile on her own and then after that they can not be separated (well not smart to try and do so because you tear of calcium of the shell in the process and leave egg more vulnerable to desiccation).

All eggs that where in a pile in my experience always hatch out as well, so do not mess with them. It is completely natural for them to adhere in a pile and will not interfere with your hatch rate. All the rest just pipped. Took three days for all to pip.

Frank,
...Congratulations. Neat looking little snakes. Small ultralight colored snakes can be educational. Take one into a dark room and use a small flashlight to transilluminate the heart. It is really cool to watch the blood flow while the heart is beating.

As you can see all the internal organs that would work very well for sure.

Wow. They're born a little perverted looking, huh? Or maybe I should just go with the g-rated bubblegum ropes. hehe..

I do love a pretty white snake. Congrats on the little pips, they're beauties.

Surrounded by a bunch of BRB, some Ridleyi, a few Grey Banded Kings, Australian Cattle Dogs, a Belgian Malinois, assorted Mustelids and an incredibly tolerant male human.

Thanks all nine are out now and looking good. They stay that color for awhile before they turn white. They are quite docile for hatchlings to boot! One struck at me once when I startled him/her behind the water bowl.
