Got pippers... and great odds!

I came home from work tonight to find a pipping baby - right on cue as tomorrow is day 55, and I incubated at almost 90 the whole time. I had a feeling that one would pip first, because he's in the "pancake" (flat) egg, and was seriously low on space. He was ready to get the heck outta dodge, LOL.

I went ahead and cut the whole clutch, and it looks like my odds are MUCH better this year... last year I had 1 mojave & 5 normals in a clutch, and this one appears to be 1 normal & 4 mojaves. Woot! :) There's one I'm still on the fence about, but probably a mojo that's just slightly darker than the others. They all look very healthy, and nicely light-colored as expected from these parents. Here are a few teaser pics, and I'll post more when they start to emerge:

The pancake egg, and only definite normal...

The boobie egg, a mojave (right?) who's very much alive but small.

Not sure about this one - light normal or darker mojo?

Now THAT'S a mojo! ;) Also has the dad's heart pattern... coolio.

Can't wait to see them out. Congratz !

Grats on the odds with that clutch :D

Thanks guys! I'm super stoked on them, and can't wait to see everybody out... I'll post pictures, for sure.

P.S. Sorry about the Edward Scissorhands job... those scissors are waaaay too sharp, hehe. :oops:

Congrats! :)

nice!!! congrats:gj:

Congrats! I can't wait to see them after they hatch, you must be excited.

Thanks! I got my first peek at a head just now... of course it's the normal, but he/she is pretty darned cute. I forgot how small they are at hatching, LOL. :)

Well, I'm jealous of you for TWO reasons... you're going to a reptile show this weekend, and you have het pieds & het hypos. :P

Alright, now for the hard part - waiting for them to come all the way out!!
