Any advice?

Thanks guys,
@ Stapey, yeah, if you look at the 1st 2 pics of the last lot compared with the earlier pics when it was in the membrane, you can see the difference. I'm guessing it's something to do with the iris, but I noticed it on other pets I've had previously too.
Re-blame, well, if I hadn't cut the egg he may have lived, but then I wouldn't have known about the others, and they might not have survived if I'd assumed they were dead, so....... 6 = 12/2!
Thanks for replies tho. |

I am really sorry to hear this :( I never knew snakes eyes went sliver when they died though, mine didn't but I don't know how long the hatchie was dead for before I noticed it...
I really hope the rest will be ok for you. |

What a beautiful little thing it was. I'm sorry for your loss Mouse =[ Don't blame yourself at all though, these things happen sometimes and as hard as it is to think through they usually happen for a reason.
*Big hugs* |

there wasn't a dent. It was so dehydrated that it kinda folded over a bit. The dark line was a vein.
It's dead. Deffo. It's eyes have gone silver.
RIP little Cedric.
xx :(
If someone wants a dead pre-hatched snake to autopsy properly....let me know.... |

No, its most likely because its not got a full belly, if the yolk has gone, then it might be better just to put it down, i dont think its going to get any better, and if it hasnt fed, and doesnt have any yolk left, then i think it will starve.
I havent had to do this yet, so i dont really know what its supposed to look like, i cant help on that ama afraid, i honestly dont know what else to suggest.
I got your message yes, i text you off the old phone cos my batt was nearly flat on the new one! |

Just noticed, like the snake looks like it has a dent all the way in it's belly from the middle of the snake, is this because it isn't fully formed? |

I got the one from your old number just now!!
I don't know if it's clear, but in the full length pic you can see it's umbellicle...i dunno what it's meant to look like! |

Apparently I cannot read, interpret, and then write a number at 7am! |

I text the number in your profile, I think! Maybe someone has some random messages about eggs! At 26 you got a few days left. |

Posted - 23/06/2010 : 10:31:36
it was about 26C.
Cool! I'm excited to find out what else will come out!
Well, the yolk is still attatched I think (I tried) and whatever is in the yolk, but the blood supply ruptured when I first got him out. Tis the reason I got him out of the membrane, as I didn't want him drowning in the pooling blood.
Messages as in on here, or text? if it was txt, then no I didn't....
I'll update your number on my phone .... |

Cool, how low was the temp? He's an amel, unless mr snow is het hypo.
It proves your girly is het amel though!
I will be surprised if he does survive, it looks like he wasn't nearly ready to hatch, the main thing is too make sure the umbilical and yolk sac don't dry out.
Did you get my messages this morning? |

hehe, was on the chat room with Gmac and Kehhlr all night.
All the eggs are up one end (didn't tip them!) and lil' snakie is wrapped in moist kitchen towel up at one end.
I don't think he'll make it :(
But he's a gorgeous lil' thing, so I hope I'll get some others the same.
The temp was low, so it's now about 29C.
It's pattern was fully formed, and it's head was fine. No lumps bumps or kinks...
*sigh*
if anyone feels like guessing the morph, feel free...we've had hypo/amel so far.....

Thanks Mike, that makes sense. I was starting to get worried I didn't see the sack when mine hatched then.
Bless the poor thing! That must have been a shock I hope it lives the poor little thing. |

Ok, its not 4 weeks overdue, I can't read, that's all! They are a few days over due, still well within normal times. Don't do anything. |

Crap, that's a bit of a shock! Make sure its kept nice and damp, warm the incubator up a bit too, 29 to 30, keep it nice and dark too, its eyes will be super sensitive. To be honest, am sorry but I don't think it will live, it will be incredible if it does.
How many days have the eggs been incubating at, and what temps, any days at a much lower temp? Power cuts?
If its 4 weeks over due, then I find it amazing its actually alive!
Am on the phone so I can't see the pics very well, is the pattern fully formed? What about its spine and head shape? Any kinks, bumps, lumps etc?
Did you text me? I haven't had a message at all. My new number is in my profile. |

i would be interested to see.
The blob like thing is the egg yolk most likely, if its very full then its likely the snake hasnt used much of it and died fairly early on.
Its likely that your girlie could be dh snow, so may have been a snow baby, but if its not, and its still white, then it died a while ago before the colour started to form. Another way to see, is by looking at the eyes, if they are fully formed but opaque, then its fully formed, but if they are like little black/blue specs, then its been a while.
I shall keep my eyes open for the new thread in the morning. |
