Concerning or normal?

The color usually starts to develop around 3-4 weeks incubation so it may still be early to see the color. That would be awesome if he has it though! I always find it so cool to see the babies developing. Albinos definitely have an orange/red glow, normals are kind of greenish and axanthics are white with a slight green hue. I have yet to hatch a snow but I’m assuming it would be stark white. Have you started to see veins?

@ghsaltie oh yeah, all the good eggs have nice thick veins and are swelling nicely! I’ll check the glow again but with your info provided. The wife and I at like 1am found out about the orange glow trick and did a science experiment. We candled them all and put a’s so once they hatch we can verify if it is true. I have a yellow glow, whitish glow and super orange glows when I candle the eggs.

Well, regardless of the their looks, I had my first baby ever hatch today from those goofy looking eggs!!! Pretty sure it’s Arctic too! So regardless of how your eggs look, incubate till there’s no debate!

Aw look at that cute little worm! So precious! I’m so happy to see you are getting babies. Single arctic can be tricky to see compared to super arctic but it should become more apparent after a shed or two. Congrats!
