What could a reptilian race tell by candling their eggs?

I've got a D&D-inspired setting, and one of the races present are yuan-ti. They're sentient snake people with a variety of forms, ranging from mostly human-looking to basically just a giant talking snake, plus a bunch of weird forms like a person with snakes for arms. Status is based on how snake-like they are.

I was thinking, they'd probably have snake-like eggs. And it occurred to me that they might be able to use candling (placing a light behind the egg to reveal the contents) to figure out what kind of child they're having. Anyone who knows reptile care better than me able to weigh in?
