C-cutting open ball python eggs??

BP breeders do it all the time. Especially if there's high-dollar morphs in the clutch. I don't like it, personally, so I'll never do it. But if they've got several thousand dollars invested in the parent morphs, and the clutch is carrying high-dollar morphs, they're just trying to protect their investment.
 
Protecting their investments? How does knowing the morph a little sooner do that?

Just looked around at some of the higher priced morphs, whooo! D:

Sometimes, BP's have a little trouble coming out of the eggs, or initially slitting them. It's usually only a problem with some of the morphs.
 
On USTREAM.tv last year there were 2 or 3 webcams aimed at BO(?) eggs with windows cut, pre-pipping stage. There may be this year, I haven't checked in a few weeks. Such that you could watch the developing snake. I'm guessing the point was to have the eggs on webcam, not scientific or other 'academic' purposes.
I'm clumsy and a worrier...I wouldn't want to be compromising my young snakes or their eggs. But obviously I will tune in to watch if someone else (surely a more experienced expert) does it. For me, watching the snake eggs is an elegant alternative to watching a bazillion litters of shiba inus, golden retrievers, and yorkies....'do their daily routine'.
