The video is a detailed walkthrough of the process of hatching eggs from a snake breeding operation. The breeders are monitoring a clutch of eggs, noting that one of the eggs appears moldy. They discuss potential risks and safety measures, such as treating the moldy egg with a powder to prevent mold growth.
Over time, they observe the hatching process, noting that one of the eggs has started to hatch. They express surprise when a second egg also begins to hatch, indicating that the moldy egg has actually produced a healthy baby. They also note that the moldy egg was sitting next to a healthy egg, suggesting that the baby inside the moldy egg might have been protected from the mold.
Throughout the video, the breeders discuss the characteristics of the baby snakes, such as their color and whether they have scales. They also discuss the possibility of the babies having different fathers, depending on the characteristics they exhibit.
Finally, they reveal a surprise baby snake with a cleft lip, which they discuss as a genetic anomaly. They stress the importance of not breeding snakes with genetic defects and ensure that the baby snake will be adopted to a good home.
The video concludes with a thank you to the viewers and a promise to keep them updated on the baby snakes' progress.
Here are some key facts extracted from the text:
1. The text is a transcript of a video about hatching rat corn eggs, which are hybrids of rat snakes and corn snakes.
2. The mother snake is a rat corn that carries the scaleless gene, and she was bred with two different males: one that is also a rat corn with the scaleless gene, and one that is a fully scaleless Texas rat snake.
3. The video shows the process of opening the eggs and checking the babies for scales, which indicate who the father is and what percentage of the clutch is scaleless.
4. Out of 14 eggs, 8 are scaleless and 6 are scaled, which suggests that the scaleless Texas rat snake is the father, since he would produce more scaleless offspring than the other male.
5. One of the eggs takes longer to hatch than the others, and when it does, it reveals a scaleless baby with a cleft lip and a curved head, which are genetic deformities that do not affect its health or ability to eat.
