 |
|
Hi
In NERDS the complete ball python he recomends to seperate the eggs to avoid the babies slitting into another egg and drowning.
Any thoughts advice on this. At the moment they are sort of stacked ontop of one another.
They have become very soft and wobbly.
tomorrow thursday is day 53.
thanks
mike

Sounds a bit 'over cautious' to me, I certainly wouldn't seperate eggs just in case it happened (man I'm gonna be gutted if my lesser spider mojave pastel crystal hatches into another egg and drowns   ).

No idea, not all my eggs have hatched yet...................but it's highly unlikely even bordering on impossible

You could probably do with a Crystal-Ball Python to predict your hatchings!

| never happened neither with cornsnakes (clutches of 20 or more eggs). Every snakes inside the egg knows well where to cut to get out, it's a work that they do since millions of years |
