Fungus or mold on one Egg?? (need advice)

It looks like I have some type of fungus or mold on one of my corn snake eggs. Anyone know what to do?

Nothing. Monitor it as you check your eggs & once/if you are totally convinced it is bad remove it if possible. If not leave it. Mold doesn't nessicarily mean its bad & "bad eggs' aren't likely to spoil "good eggs". How long since they have been laid? Sometimes (if it was fairly recently) a few eggs that were never meant to be will start to spoil in the first bit of incubation. Check your humidity level to make sure it is OK & that the eggs aen't too wet (could be the cause?). Good Luck Mark

Candle it to see if there are visible vessels.

Applying a small amount of athlete's foot powder to the molded areas has been effectively used by some people, who hatched normal babies from the afflicted eggs.

I have hatched eggs with mold on them before, I would just make sure your conditions are good and leave them alone. As already said the bad ones wont hurt the good ones.
