Are these eggs ok ?

Hi evry1!

As this is the second clutch this year and the female had lost a lot of energy, I don't know if these eggs will contain healthy little snakes ? It seems the eggs are smaller than the ones I've seen on this forum so I wonder if there is still a chance for them to hatch. They are 1,5 months old. I removed the rotting eggs and these 4 are left. One of them looks realy small though lol I wonder why it stays white.. I added the objects and the finger so you could have an ID of their size. I also added the male and the female. Plz advice me :) Thanx !

What with the little in the middle ? :shrugs:
Still looks good. I had three smaller then that in our snow's clutch. All three eggs hatched out just fine - though they are considerably smaller then their clutchmates.

Hatching !

UPDATE !

They're coming out ! :):) I'm with a smile on my face here, first time I manage in 3 years :crazy02:

Do I leave the box open so they can breathe ? Thanx !

Don't leave the box open or you will loose your hatchlings when they emerge from the eggs! Just poke a few holes in the top of the container and they will be fine.
 
Congratulations on the pippies!! How long was your incubation period? I'm on day 68 and counting. Your snakes look exactly like mine!! The dad was the normal and the sunglow motley is the mama. I'm curious to see what the last egg is??
 
yes, They're all out! I don't know the incubation period, sorry, I didn't count..

Third one to come out :

Third one already getting lighter + the last one to see the sunlight :)

They're all afraid when I try to take them but they calm down once they're in my hands :cheers:
 
Congratulations!
The third one is getting lighter because it's getting ready for it's first shed, which hatchlings have about 7 to 10 days after exiting the egg.
After they've shed they should be ready for their first feeding attempt and I would suggest you may want to try the smallest baby from the small egg on the tiniest pinky you can find. If you can't find one small enough then try it with a pinky head for a couple of feeds.

Good luck and best wishes,
 
Thanx for the information !

Kinda cruel though to cut the pinky's head off ! Even if it's dead I wouldn't like doing that lol but if it's the only way..
