Separating Eggs?
Has anyone else found that when they tried separating Corn Snake eggs it seemed to make them more likely to rot?
I had 25 or so eggs and only 4 weren't slugs, so I tried to separate the eggs out as the slugs smelled something terrible and got moldy and the mold was spreading to the good eggs.
However, when I separated a bad egg from one of my good eggs the spot where they had been separated started growing mold and it killed the whole egg. I was careful removing them, I don't think it tore or anything.
Was it just coincidence? Or does pulling them apart remove some sort of protective layer?
Thanks!
