The good is a newly hatching hypo. syspila.
The bad are the number of bad eggs, and they are ugly.

Glad I waited the good eggs out.

Ya those are some gnarly looking eggs but a beautful snake! Congrats on that lil miracle coming out!

Oh my god those eggs are ugly!! Nice that you posted those photos so that some of us don't throw eggs out unless we are SURE they are bad. You might need to get a mold and fungus treatment after those!! ha ha.

Joe,
I really did put anti fungal cream on the bad eggs to keep the mold from spreading on to the good eggs. It seemed to save 4 or 5 of the eggs.

Dell,

Wow man, I might not have been as patient with those as you were. Glad you kept them around! That is awesome.

Post pics of that hypo after it emerges for sure!

Yeah Dave I'll post the photos when I take the time to shoot them. Only the one out so far, and another has slit it's egg, and still waiting on three others.

This is a good "wake up" for all of us.
Thanks for posting!

Did anymore hatch, or just the one?

Also, the one in the picture hatching, is that one egg,
or two stuck together?

Thanks!

Copperhead,
I'm waiting on one slit egg now, and should have two more go for sure.
The egg mass you asking about is two good eggs stuck togeather and four bad eggs stuck to the good eggs. Then there is another mass next to the one that is coming out w/ three what I believe are good eggs, and another four or five bad eggs stuck to them.

Dell,

who knows what the future has in store for what awaits. Sometimes it's a matter of quality versus quantity. Either way, it's better than none. Good on ya mate for the stellar patience.
