Good question, I am keeping an eye on it each day to make sure the mold does not spread to the other eggs. My thinking is that if it can safely be removed then it should be. This particular clutch consists over several small clutches, maybe 3-4 eggs each, if it does start to spread I may just remove the entire group it is attached to if I can not separate them in an effort to save the rest of the clutch that it is not attached to. It really is a hard call because I have heard about some very very nasty eggs hatching out fine.

Yeah, I've seen some photos of real nasty eggs hatching. I usually don't toss them out until they are so shriveled that there is just no way possible that there is a living baby snake in there.

Very well done! Your okeetee is definetely het amel. Those eggs in your second clutch are huge! It's been my experience that bigger eggs yield bigger hatchlings so expect some monster babies.

I have hatched twin ball pythons before and this year was the first year I have hatched twin corns. It was actually in the clutch that produced the sulfur mot. I got 18 babies out of 17 eggs. I recounted the eggs post hatch and my count was correct. But I have no idea which ones out of that clutch are the twins. I never saw two heads poking out of the same egg there. One of the problems with having a large production is that you can miss some things like that.

It looks like everything is going well with your clutches. Best of luck!

Justin, this clutch is not from the Okeetee. The 2nd clutch with the huge eggs is from her paired with an Amel male. This one hatching is from a Ghost female and Amel male.

The first egg in this clutch was pipped this morning so I cut that one open a bit more and cut the other three.

FOUR pinstripes!
