my female bd laid 15 eggs in thanksgiving, a week later my hearter broke in the incubator(fish tank ones), so i decided to see what would happen if i put the eggs box in my bds cage, sure enough as soon as she say the box she went and layed right one it(wasnt touching the eggs), and way today i checked them to make sure evrything is ok, so i saw a bad on, so i though hey im in vet science class ins chool might as well cut it open, and as i cut it open i pushed out the yoke and you could see things starting to form, i saw blood, things that kinda looks like babay bd parts.

idn i though it was cool so it could be a weird but cool thing to do wit bad bd eggs, so see how they form

that does sound like something that would be interesting. On a similar note, my higschool zoology teccher recieved a decapitated "rattle snake" to disect. When disecting it he found eggs, cut those open to find partially formed (dead, of course) baby water snakes.

i actually cut open an egg before. It was one that didn't hatch with the rest of them. It was like two days later and i thought that it wasn't going to. Now I know that it can take like 10 days for a single clutch to hatch, but at least i studied the prize inside. It was fully developed.

The first thing i thought was....oh no I KILLED it!...which i did, but thought i should learn from it as much as i could. Its freaking amazing how they curl up and fit in the egg.
