What do healthy eggs look like?

Iv'e checked upon my 50 days old corn snake eggs yesterday. When shining through them with a bright flashlight I could see a few red blood vessels lining the inside of the eggs. I didn't touch them, never touched them in fact.

I'm now wondering if those blood vessels indicate healthy and growing embryos? I didn't see any embryos, for that I would have had to lift one of the eggs and shine through it but I don't wanna risk bacterial contamination.

while ive never had snake eggs, ive had Leopard Gecko eggs, and blood vessels almost ALWAYS meant life. Unless the embryo dies early on, then the vessels will fade away. I think you have fertile eggs though, but im not promising anything
Best of luck!

Thanks! I thaught the same, that red blood vessels would have to mean but one thing.
