The great incubator crisis!

[Catherine]

Dead eggs go moldy very quickly. The mold can then spread and kill the other eggs. Dead eggs don't grow in size as the baby grows and they get soft and lose shape. Infertile eggs are smaller and they are not the beautiful white of a healthy egg. They don't have the firmness.

I think the emergency solution can work for a long time. Some people are good at finding solutions. They think quickly and they know what needs to be done. We needed a heat source that could be regulated. Fish tanks have heat sources that are regulated.

Now we just have to wait and see. The pine snake eggs are big. We will be able to tell if the babies are growing. The eggs will get bigger. The hatching is going to be sweet. They are such pretty babies. I just have to remember to take pictures.
