Hey there, the egg with the pink at the bottom with the veins is just fine, it means that the hatchling inside is developing. most of your eggs should have red veins inside. You should look for egg growth. If they are getting bigger then that means the eggs are absorbing moister and are growing healthy. if your eggs get dimpled that means you dont have enough moister so what i would do is spray some luke warm water to the walls and sides of the tupperware. NOT on the eggs. If things dont get better then you should get a moist paper towel and apply it on the egg that is dimpled. i hope this helped! good luck on the eggs!

at this point

in time there are no dimples in any of the eggs...I was just curious as to the one that was white all but the bottom which is really pink in color with all the noticable veins...

You usually can't see the veins in a developing egg unless you use a bright light. The clear 'windows' in snake eggs are actually areas that are poorly calcified so if the majority of your eggs look white and round then you should be pleased. By day 23 you should have noticed that your once long oval shaped eggs have plumped out to a more normal (by bird-type eggs) roundness. Roundness is good but can also indicate that they're too hydrated and might be sitting in water. If you place a piece of unbleached paper towel over them it should be slightly moist to the touch but not wet.
