(I have not done it myself, and I dont know how long your eggs have been cooking)
I would use a sharp stanley blade and make sure you cut the part of the egg facing up, but part in contact with th air bubble inside. |

| Have you candled as well, surely movement inside should give a rough guide if they're just taking longer to incubate as well. |

they are about a 3/4 week overdue. (by my records)
I have torched...no movement...am worried they're dead/never alive to begin with.
They look fine, overly plump (they've kind of puffed up a bit more over the last few weeks) all veiny etc.
I haven't done anything yet...prolly gonna go onto the chatroom and see if you're about Kehhlr.... |

| Looks like they must have died pretty early. Did you only cut the one egg? |

Oh Mouse, I am so sorry. Well done for being brave enough to cut into the egg (and there is no doubt that you didnt kill that baby)....but I know that is what you were dreading seeing. Are they all like that?
You have done everything you could, gone above and beyond as far as research and preparation....so maybe it is just natures way of saying these hatchlings just werent meant to be. It sucks, I know....but that is life, unfortunately.
Same as kd....((((((a big hug))))))
Love Ju

That looks like it died a while ago to be honest, are they all the same? I don't know what causes this, one of my ghost eggs was the same, and 4 of the others were fully formed and had split the egg, then died, I think some points in incubating are beyond our control.
What I meant was a while before they were due to hatch! To be honest, 3 to 4 weeks overdue, I think your gonna have the same result am sorry to say. Tis a shame. |

Thing is is that I think it was alive (before I blatantly killed it by cutting the egg.)
I thought it was dead, which is why I cut the egg open by more than a crack, but then it started pulsing after about a minute :(
I'm leaving the others to incubate in that one, and setting up another for Sprocketts second batch (when she deigns to lay them!)
I'm quite upset at the thought that I killed it though....*meep*
I know that from a logical standpoint, I know what stage the others are at, and from a biology standpoint the pics are informative, but still.....
This may be morbid, but if there are any biologists on here that want to study it, let me know, as I left it in it's tub last night. It may be of interest to anyone studying for vetenary snakeness or something.....

| Was the baby a snow? i havent seen any babies look like that unless they died a while before developing properly, i cut one egg open the other day and it looked like this, and had been dead a while. |

dunno, it looked like a snow to me, was same colouring as Gobo, and the head pattern was similar too.
(i.e. that difference of white and pink) |

| Not to sound stupid/igonrant because I am very intrested, is the orngeness a head and what's the giant pink sack? Is the snake in that sack or would that soild sack somehow develope into a snake? If the snake is in the sack, is there anyway to cut the sack open to see how much it had devolped? |
  
A very special super, duper thanks for K :3 |

orange is a blood vessel over the head, imagine a snake coiled up, with the head in the centre and the rest of the body coiling outwards - that's what's there
