We've got pippers

Today is day 60 of incubation for my very first clutch ever and the last couple of days I've been checking and checking to see if anyone had pipped yet. Well, this morning there was a thunderstorm and i had a funny feeling i might get lucky and sure enough i lifted the egg box out of the incubator and saw 3 heads sticking out :D i couldn't believe it, well enough of the story here is the pix, mom is a normal and dad is an orange ghost

Nice looking clutch. I also really appreciate that ball pythons have evolved from using their egg tooth, to carrying around a tiny set of surgical scissors to cut those nice lines in the egg fron the inside.
I don't see a single snake-pipped hole in any of those eggs.

Not at all, just really looking at those eggs and I don't see a single snake-made pip-hole anywhere.
Maybe my eyes are just bad...

:weirdface...Your not going to see any snake made pip holes nor is anyone else because i cut into the pip holes and made them bigger and then i made fresh cuts into the other 2 eggs, why do you care about seeing pipholes lol do you not believe me :confused: sorry if i come off defensive but i just don't understand what your getting at

PLENTY of people even cut all their eggs BEFORE they even pip themselves....

Not saying its right or wrong.....but SURELY there's more stuff in life to worry about than than when someone is or isn't cutting THEIR eggs.

Besides, these guys are on day 60, granted we don't know the incubation temps, but even if they hadn't pipped on their own, I probably would have cut em anyways.

Congrats on the clutch!
