Pip-pip-hurrah!

J9 that is weird. Does the snake act like it's ok?

If you pull it apart, does it look like intestines? That would scare the you-know-what out of me...

Absolutely, it bit me when I cleaned out the tub and threw 'the thing' away. It has lost 1g in weight, but looks and moves normally.

Just my guess-but it looks like it didn't finish absorbing its yolk before exiting the egg and it finally fell off.

They all look great though!

It was quite smelly, so I only prodded it a bit with some disposable surgical scissors. It was most like curdled egg, like I found in my eggs that didn't hatch last year, sort of rubbery.

Nope, there was no egg hanging on the outside of the hatchling after pipping, just a little stump.

So there was a stump on the snake, and then later, the thing appeared? T?hat is too weird.

Hmmm very strange.

Yep. I set up the snake on damp paper towel, it had a little hernia and small stump. 2 days later, no 'thing'. Day 4, snake + 'thing'

But the snake's belly is intact, after the thing appeared? I wish some huge breeder that has seen everything, like Kathy or Rich, would read this.
