2013 Season starting.... (progressif thread)

[aleks]

my first clutch is now at 58 days ans still didint have one eggs open.. so i decided to open one to see if everything was ok!

and this is what i saw!

first baby is a anery tessera! from a 0.1 reg het ? x 1.0 tessera het snow strip

 

[Isoldael]

Personally not a fan of opening eggs before their time... but lovely looking snake nonetheless.

i normaly dont but took a chance on one to be sure everything was ok

 

[Shiari]

58 days is nothing in incubation time. They can easily go up to 80 days or longer, depending on the temperatures.

reason why i open it.. vain didint show on that one... was strating to turn wird color.. didint whant to contaminate others so made a check if nothing was good i would have puted it in the green bag

 

[Nanci]

Now how is that baby going to be able to stay in the egg and absorb its yolk? This is very dangerous. A bad egg isn't going to contaminate the good eggs.

i did it whit someone that know what hes doing... sorry if this forum is againts this... if i would have know i would not have put it online... and cant delete it...

 

[aleks]

i just called one of my other friends that is in the business since ALOTE of years,,, and told me i should not have let the other dude did it.. To risky.

i believe i did a mistake on listening to the other guy...

What happened to that hatchling?

 

[aleks]

still in egg the membrane Inside is intac

Wow! That's going to be an awesome clutch you hatch out there.

With his egg open, I'm suspecting that a daily misting to keep it from drying out may be healthy. I know some someone who successful cuts their eggs at 58 or 60 day, probably picked up that habit from their ball pythons (egg cutting is common with ball breeders) so I think you're likely ok.

 

[Shiari]

I will admit I did that on a clutch last year, out of curiousity to see what effect it would have. All the snakes emerged early from the eggs, as most still had umbilicus or yolk attached.

I highly recommend *against* cutting corn snake eggs.

It isn't this forum that's against it, it's pretty much _all_ cornsnake breeders. But how would you know unless you asked. People with big snakes do it all the time (and the necessity of that is quite debatable, but it has become general practice because a few big-name breeders were in too much of a hurry to see what was in the eggs rather than waiting till they hatched).

I'd just keep him nice and quiet and dark and hope he stays put for a few more days.

Nancy like i told u on privit and i Said on the post a little after that. I do realize it was a mistake after contacting another friend
