Hey,

Was observing my eggs today and noticed that there was an egg that had split but the snake was not out of it at all, so i gently touched it wit some sterile tweezers and there was no movement. Think this one might have passed over to snakey heaven :( as i smelt it and it wasnt the most plesent of smells!! What do i do with this now? is it mormal for an egg to 'hatch' and the snake not come out and die? i had some like this last year but they hadnt hatched at all.

I also have another egg that hasnt hatched out the egg 'shell' has gone slightly see through and i can see i have an amel in there, what do i do with this one should i cut this open? Its been 3 days since the first ones started hatching so i think i should leave it longer before cutting the egg open...

Any help is much apreciated.
