Hi Guys,
My first cornsnake clutch is due to hatch in 8 days. All seems well but I am a little surprised by how they candle this late into incubation. I am used to producing ball pythons and retics and didn’t expect the corn eggs to appear so empty only a week prior to hatch. They are well veined and I can see a small mass in each egg. Is it simply that the embryos are essentially letting the light pass right through them due to their small size or is the seeming absence of a full egg a red flag? The eggs appear mostly light yellow with some veining, I would usually see the snake obscuring my light at this stage of my python eggs.
Any help or reassurance would be great.
Thank you/.

Ball pythons eggs candle like that leading up to hatch. Usually just the baby obscuring the light.

The first clutch I hatched, I was surprised by the same thing. And yet when they hatch, you can tell they fill up the whole egg with no extra room at all!

All of them are Pied-sided to a greater or lesser extent. Some almost no white, others extreme high white.

Beautiful babies! Congrats! Gotta say, I always like getting a variety from a clutch. There’s always a target or two, but it’s always fun to see a big variety.
