Egg development?

dacherrypicker Jul 07, 2008 05:35 PM

Is there a noticable change in appearance when candled in certain stages of an eggs development? Are veins visible throughout the whole 60 day term? I would imagine they would darken alot because of the mass developing. What about firmness, weight, shell color, etc. Thanks and happy herping!

I noticed (please someone correct me here if I am incorrect)that the snakes true pattern doesnt seem to develop till towards the end of incubation. Ive had instances where I was like wow, whats this some reduced pattern thing growing with like 3 weeks left, only to have the pattern fill in in the last week or so.
