I am waiting for my first snake babies to hatch and just realised 20 minutes ago that one of the shells was broken from underneath and egg contents was running out. I opened the shell and found a snake embryo which looks about fully developed, but is attached to lots of variously coloured egg components. It moves slightly! It looks as if it is breathing, but I cannot see the head. What shall I do to help it survive?
I left it lying in the partly open shell with the opening upwards, so nothing can run out, and I am keeping it warm and moist, separate from the other eggs. What else can I do?
Timeline: My snakelets could be about ready to hatch, the eggs were laid on New Years Day, but I expected them to take a bit longer, because I didn't manage to keep them at a constant temperature and we had all sorts of troubles, such as mould and rotting eggs which were stuck to the heaps too strongly to be taken away... I will do ANYTHING to make this our very first snake baby survive! (And it will definitely not be sold if it does, but be our forever loved pet python.) It is a Bredli / Centralian Carpet Python. Your help and advice will be much appreciated.
