One baby :sad: the other egg seemed like it was a late bloomer but never developed.

very cool! I did a similar set of progression pics the first time I bred a pair of pythons. I love watching the little ones grow inside the egg.

62 day mark was particularly amazing for the fims. It's like a little shrimp floating inside the egg!

I really like the time lapse it creates. I was worried about how much stress it would cause but the baby is healthy. Definitely heightened my anticipation of this little one!

We have two more babies on the way due in mid-late June that I haven't been candling/photographing like this. I prefer it that way haha. Less anxiety!
