Bad luck

What kind of crap is this? This poor little guy pipped and was ready to leave the egg but it had tied itself in a knot around the yolk and apparently cut off the supply of something important. It never made it out of the egg. Anyone ever see this happen?

Thanks. Hopefully this isn't any indicator of what to expect this year.


On a side note...Mom is a normal. Anyone wanna guess what dad is?

Is the umbilical cord twisted to the point where it wasn't getting any yolk? I've heard of that problem before.... White Diamond Reptiles has a little blurb about saving one of his gorgeous pastels who had this problem. Link to the article.

Thanks. The umbilical cord wasn't actually twisted at all. The snake was tied in a knot squeezing it enough to stop the flow. I didn't even realize intervention was necessary until it was too late. They all pipped, 1 was out of the egg but 6 were still in. Then I noticed this one was dead.

Poor little thing. He looks very light colored. Was dad a fire?

Sorry for your loss.

Well here's the thing. Mom was bred to a YB male this season. However, last season she was bred by a pastel male but she didn't give me any eggs. I'll post pics once the siblings shed.
