I have a clutch of 100% to 100% het albino eggs due to hatch in about two more weeks. some of the eggs that have clear windows on them seem to look very dark inside and some look very light inside. when I hold a flashlight under them you can see what looks like a dark colored snake inside the dark eggs and you can see what looks like a yellow snake inside. has anyone noticed this before and if so did they conferm it to be true when the eggs hatched? I would hate to get all excited by seeing so many light eggs and then they turn out to be normal. I have not herd this talked about so far on this forum so I would like to here from as many of you that have noticed this and help me out . thanks.

I don't know. You should separate the light from the dark eggs and tell us what comes out of each. Good luck.

its clear enough to see that there are albinos in some and normal ones in the other ones now. I was just wondering if anyone else had notised this in there past?

WELL???

thanks.

YES you can tell if the babies are albino or not. I have hatvhed quite a few Burmese Python eggs and one year I candled alll of them Albino X Albino, Normal X Normal, and Albino X normal...one turned out to be a het... I knew this before they hatched because more than 1/2 the eggs looked light on the inside. You can difently tell if they are albino or normal when you candle them...
Good luck.
