    I broke down and cut
    Well I went to look at my eggs and decided to cut one just to see if the little one was alive. It is alive and moving. I am so excited. The baby is either a normal or a mojo. I didn't take too long looking at the baby as I wanted to get the eggs back in the incubator as soon as possible. Then another one of the eggs moved, so I broke down and cut it. Another normal or mojo. I cut tiny slits more to help them pip than anything. Well two where cut and the other 3 where just sitting there. So I cut again. All I could see was a cream colored patch, no color anywhere in site....could I hope for a BEL????? Well the damage was done and 2 left. So again I cut. Another cream color no color anywhere in site..... ANOTHER BELL?????? OMG I sure hope so. The last egg was very plump and as tight as a tic. I was worried about it so I decided to cut the last one. This one my heart sank. I cut a vein and all I could see was red with a bit of white under it. I am not sure what was in this egg as I was scared and I stopped cutting the second I saw blood.

    IF I am lucky I got 2 mojos and 3 BEL's. They are on day 53.

    A note: all the eggs except the last one where visibly sunken and looked like they had gotten wet as they had huge damp spots on them. When I candled them there where no veins in the clear areas. The last one I cut because all the others where sunken except that one. I was afraid that if he/she tried to pip there was no way it could get out of the egg and the shell was much tougher than the others. I pray I didn't hurt the little girl. Now all I got to do is wait till they come out.

    Last note: pray I got the odds right 3 BELL's and I would be in hog heaven :D :D :D :D Even better if 2 where girls and 1 was a boy ;)

    Congrats!!! I'm assuming the pairing was Mojo x Mojo? I'll pray to the odds gods for you!

    Unless you actually cut the snake then you are ok. Those other veins are no big deal if the snake is ready to come out.

    Thank you all :D This is my first mojo x mojo clutch. I didn't think the little guy had it in him and the eggs where unexpected. Now the wait till they come out. I was so stoked when all I saw was white in 2 of the eggs. I am almost sure the 3rd was white as well. I have always wanted a BEL. I told my friend if I got 3 I would keep one, sell one and trade one (she is looking for a high white pied). The dad of this clutch is an awesome mojo. I hope the mojo babies have his coloring.

    How long do you think they will sit in their eggs before venturing out? Also I noticed that the temp in the egg box has gone up the last few days. Do the babies start giving off heat? I promise I will post photos of the babies as soon as they come out :)
