Severely deflated eggs

Ya i think next year im gonna use whats worked for many years just simply a one to one ratio of vermiculite to water with a press and seal. Im gonna post pictures later on just so everyone can see what im talking about

You weren't kidding about severely dimpled eggs. Good luck with them! Now put them back in the incubator and leave them alone.

ya i know. Ive been trying not to mess with them only checkn on them once a week. Im gonna leave them alone until i cut which i think im gonna do day 53 or 54.

My bet is that they hatch just fine.

fingers crossed ill keep you updated

So today was day 53 and i decided to cut. All the babies seem well. The only thing is either i hit the most amazing odds on the clutch or some of there colors havent come in, which at day 53 i would expect them to be fully developed. I incubated at 89 degrees. If you guys could watch my youtube video and let me know what u think i would be very grateful. Thank you

I hope they all make it for you. I have 100% hatch rate here and I definitely do it a lot different than you. Our eggs are incubated on 2:1 vermiculite/perlite incubation tub that is sealed with press-n-seal. Our medium is pretty moist and our eggs stay very large until the day we pip which is around day 55 when we incubate at 88.5 degrees. When I pip, I candle prior because its easy for me because the eggs are still round. I avoid any large vessels and pip a flap MUCH smaller than you did on your video. I put the eggs back and wait for them to breath air and absorb their yoke completely before removal. I've seen so many people lose babies hacking away on their eggs, it's quite discouraging. Even if its 1/100, that's bad odds in my opinion. All our babies eat like pigs after they shed and all grow VERY well. I believe it has a lot to do with egg incubation development. I believe it is one of the most important parts in ball python breeding when making healthy babies.

Again, I hope these all do well for you. However, I wish you could see how we do it here. I'll be posting a video on YouTube for you to see soon.

This was my first year incubating eggs. I did alot of research but its different than actually experiencing it. Hopefully next year goes smoother for me. Im subscribed to your channel and would love to see the way you incubate eggs. I tried my best to avoid any major blood vessels but i did nick only one, ill make smaller cuts next time. Thanks for helping me out
