Thanks Moderators. I will behave myself from now on. I apologise to site members for losing my head, sort of.
I will post the pictures again. I have observed something really interesting and I can back track it to the first time I pipped the eggs. I will ad the pictures first and then ask the question. I will start with day 51 and then label as I go.
I will start with this picture, its an eg that started to have grey spots on it at around day 30. It eventually started to smell so I opened it. Dead embryo at day 30.
Day 51: I cut the eggs 15 mins before these pics were taken. Notice anything funny? I realised it only yesterday.
Day 52: Heads up: Can you see the problem yet?
Day 53: Heads still moving. One of the embryos does not have something that the rest have?
One more interesting observation that I had at day 51 and day 52 is that the males hemipenes are not inverted. They are outside the body. They have inverted them and I am asuming between day 52 and 53.
If you look carefully, one of the eggs did not have veins on the exposed surface like the rest. Last night when I gently probed them on did not move and was stiff. This has never happened before so i had a look through the series of pictures. That one hatchling was dead on day 51 when I pipped them. Now I have learned something new too. I observed what i usually would observe with an egg candler. Dead eggs have very feint or no visible veins. The hatchlng would have still moved if i touched it seeing that the membrane they sit in is very gelatinous. I pulled the hatchling out and it was evident that it had some deformities. It was also slightly smaller than the rest.
I had a look tonight and they have not changed positions much. I have replaced the vermiculite with water to minimise the possibility of bacterial infection as well as to raise humidity in the egg incubation tub. They must be metabolising the youlk quite effectively at the moment as i have noticed a rise in temperature in the tub of about 1 Degree Celsius. The hightened humidity should aid in their metabolic needs as its metabolism would be requiring a lot of water at the moment.
I will post more pics later.
I do not want praise for this series of photos as mentioned before. I would like people to see what I see. Who ever heard of sharing in the reptile hobby hey???
