Is it normal to have some blood mixed with the white when a baby corn snake first pips?

Question

One of my corn snakes piped today, the last in the clutch to do so and there seems to be a small amount of blood mixed with the white coming from the slit egg, is this a bad thing, does it mean the baby will die? I didn't notice this when the other eggs piped.

Can anyone help?

Answer 1

This is normal same as when babies are born to a live bearing snake nothing to worry about. just let the baby come out of the egg on its own.

Answer 2

thats wat happens at the last egg

Answer 3

It is probably nothing. Examine the hatchling when it emerges.
