*Gross warning* Bullsnake Egg Dissection

I wonder why I cant watch the video even though I am a member

I'm glad I saw it, icky as it is. Organs forming on the outside happens to every animal. But you did what you could for the little one.

aww poor guy, i feel so bad for him

Aw, poor little guy. As gross as it may be, it's still really interesting to see how some babies develope in the egg. Thank you for sharing this.

Sooo interesting. Thank you for showing this! My kids will be excited to watch when they get home

why can we see the video

Thank you for showing the realities of snake breeding. Sometimes the babies don’t make it but the best way to honour them is to cherish and look after the babies that did survive.

Well he donated his body to Science …would’ve been a cute baby

sad but informative.

thank you for giving it a chance

Thanks for showing this.

Pro tip: DO NOT try to watch this video while eating rice pudding. Super interesting video, I don't regret watching it, but my appetite is officially gone.

Poor little guy. Happens with all births not just lizards. At least he was surrounded by his siblings

Poor little guy. Sometimes this happens, like you said. There's nothing that could have been done here.

Aw! That’s so sad!

Like someone else said, I found this way more interesting and informative than gross. It is definitely a good science lesson on biology and why babies sometimes do not make it.

Awe poor baby 😢

Man, I would love to get my hands on that poor little guy's genome. The severity and extent of those deformities could indicate an interesting mutation in his hox genes

In nature things happen, there is no explanation but great job Emily and Ed

Weird how that happened

i appreciate the educational video! its gross but very fascinating to see these unfortunate events happen in nature, well.. it wouldve been a snack for a raccoon in nature but this was neat though!

I actually like to see the dissecting of eggs that didn’t make it. Not because I like watching gross things, but it’s so interesting the different reasons a snake may die in the egg or stop developing etc. Sometimes you can’t even see the exact reason. And all of that is the most interesting part.

That was gross, but I loved the chance to see the video

I actually did not find this video gross at all. I did find it informative and interesting. Thanks for sharing!!

The look on Emily's face is priceless

an RN for people. Poor baby as that must have been a very tough day. Very interesting seeing the organs that way. Thank you for sharing this video as it was very intriguing and all for science. Side note…..get a box of rubber gloves for this stuff as yiur hands probably smelled for a day or two.as washing decomp off is NOT easy at all. Plus your olfactory senses were likely compromised for the rest of the day. Thank yiu for sharing this dissection with us.

You appeared pretty accurate to me on your organ identification as I am

Hey, I'm sure you've had a hundred people mention this to you, but you've maligned Mr. Steal Your Girl! In your "unfortunate bull snake clutch" video, you mention that Shakira had a tryst with the Orange Creamsicle patternless male, but because you had no sign they locked up, you paired Shakira with Mr. SYG. Seems likely he's NOT het Patternless, and IS het Axanthic, and your Creamsicle is now a daddy of at least Shakira's first clutch. The number of babies you got that were patternless are consistent with a het-to-homozygous pairing, and would match having the patternless as a daddy. Just thought I'd mention that here. On the note of the deformed baby, I had a two-headed snake born with his heart indecently on the outside of his body, only in his case, I had to cull him because he was breathing, and I could watch the blood pumping through it with each beat.

Aww, poor little baby. I feel bad that he was alive for a day, that must have been an uncomfy day of living

Anyone else having issues with Vimeo? Keeps coming up saying I don't have permission to view the the video and then when I logged out and tried logging back in, I also can't reset my password on there 🤦🏼‍♀️

Super sad that baby didn’t make it, but the rest look beautiful and healthy!

yeah that does make sense #Sarah Baron because like i mean they can keep a sperm in them for up to 2 years so yeah it seems like those are mays babys

Emily and Ed, you mentioned in a video from May that orange Creamsicle was also paired with Shakira. I feel he may be the father of the pattern less clutch rather than Mr.syg. The morphs and numbers make a little more sense especially if Mr.syg was supposed to be het anxanthic

It happens in human world some babies form in mother's womb and are born with there intestines on the out side so happens in the animals world to very intriguing.sad you lost him but does reveal what happens with the big eggs sad to say he would never made it either and as you said you would culled so thankyou for showing very interesting life of snakes .

Thanks for sharing, this was very interesting to study

That was super interesting! Thanks for sharing that!

Well for the squeamish warning, bright side is unless youre looking really hard, the maggots sort of blend in with the peralight… just dont look too hard 😅

Have you considered the possibility that the bullsnake clutch with the patternless babies was fathered by Orange Creamsicle and not Mr. Steal Yo Girl? Shakira was paired with both, you mentioned that in the May 24th 2022 video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OGWVDdv6OZI&t=69s). It would explain the presence of patternless AND the absence of axanthic.

This is really fascinating, very interesting how the lower half of it fused at the belly scales while the organs were outside of the body. Looked like it was an axanthic too.

I always find this kind of stuff so fascinating 😯 whenever one of my fish die I also disect them and put samples under the microscope.

Did I finally join the Patreon just to watch this video? Yes. Yes, I did. But hey, I'm glad I'm here now.

i joind just to see what morf the snake would have been, as it looked realy silver white in the tones rather than the grey browns of its siblings, thanks for the egicational video,

I doubt i will ever breed but this is still interesting to see.

Poor little baby

It's hard to watch sometimes, but videos like these are important to anyone who wants to breed animals of any sort. It's not always pretty, but it does happen. The main thing is to make sure to treat any baby humanely and sometimes it does include culling deformed babies who would have 0 quality of life and just struggle or be in pain.

Very interesting! I'm glad I couldn't smell it!
