Hatching ball pythons

[dj091673]

When the hatchlings start to pip do you remove their container from the incubator or do you leave them in until they fully emerge from the egg?

I leave the egg box in the incubator. Sometimes it takes 2-3 days for the hatchlings to exit the egg.

You didn't say what you had piping . . . .want to share? With pics if possible.

I have some bp eggs due in a couple weeks. They are starting to dimple in. Several other clutches due soon. No pics yet. I just wanted to see what to do when they pip. I have experience with other snake and lizard eggs but these are my first ball python eggs.

You always leave them in there so they can fully emerge and completely obsorb there yolk.

Thanks everyone. That is what I planned on doing. I didn't want to mess up all the hard work I have put into this project.
