The eggs on the left appear good, and bad to the right.

nice looking animals!

do you plan to attempt incubation with all the eggs at first just incase a bad one is actually good?

ssshane Apr 30, 2014 01:11 PM

Yes, I keep all eggs until I know for sure they are bad.

It appears that sperm entered one oviduct and not the other. Which is somewhat common. There are 8 eggs and 8 unfertilized ovum. All the incubation in the world will not help those. hahahahahahahaha But no harm in trying.

I wish I could help you as to why this happens, But I can't.
To me, its not about sperm count, as one side was fine. I guess there could be scaring or some other blockage to one oviduct. Nice kings congrats

The ones on the right are all bad. You should toss them before they mold up.

Great looking Specks. I love those. How big/long is your female? One thing about Speckled Kings, they seem to be prolific egg layers. My female would drop 9-13 and she was slightly over 3'. Congrats on the 8 good ones.

She is right at 3 ft. She isn't a very big snake by king standards.
