Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

embryo development
I am looking for information on embryo development (within the egg).
Basically, I want to know when things happen: structural formation; organ development and function; when scales, color, pattern, etc appear...
I am willing to be "told", but would prefer to be directed to a good resource/reference (that I can access)

Some pretty interesting stuff in there, once I got past the scientific mumbojumbo, lol. Unfortunately, relatively little of it dealt with snakes...but it gives me a base from which to work - Thanks

I read an article once where an individual removed a large section of an egg shortly after laying. He then covered the area with plastic wrap so that development could be observed. I'm sure that article would have some of the information you are interested in, however I cannot remember where I read it. I have too many books and magazines to find it without knowing where to start.
I realize that this is absolutely no help to you but if you should happen to run across that article in your search let me know where it is

This has some info mostly relating to reabsorption of the limbs but does mention some other aspects. Good pics. I have heard that pigment is the last thing to develop? That would tie into why all of the 'best' looking litter/clutch mates are teh premature ones with the strange patterns/coloring.

Apparently the code used in the forum doesn't render the % sign properly in a link so it left a space in the url.
Here's a tiny url for the page Alan linked to.

I too have read that pigment develops last, and is one explanation for several "leucistic" appearing hatchlings that died sometime prior to hatching.
I remember several years ago Tracy Barker posted a pic of such a neonate and considered that the reason it was white.
