Eggs going in the incubator 64 days ago

All the eggs candled well

Cut the eggs after they pipped. The one with the biggest sunroof had its umbilical cord around its neck so I cut the egg open more and slid his head out and he absorbed most of his yolk just fine.

First baby to venture out of the egg [emoji4]

There will only be 3 hatchlings pictured from this point since I unfortunately ended up losing one of the hatchlings that was a beautiful little yellow belly. It had a completely mangled and twisted umbilical cord and didn't absorb ANY of the yolk at all. I went ahead and went through with the normal twisted umbilicus procedure and tied off the cord and snipped off the yolk. After that I left him alone and when I came back to check on him he had passed away...very very sad and I hate that I lost that hatchling but I did all I could to save the little one...

So here we go the rest of the hatchlings the remaining Trio :) Oh also any help with ID is much appreciated!

Congrats! I'm useless to help ID them, but I bet you must be incredibly happy. Hoping to have my first clutch come out sometime next year.

Thanks :D I am incredibly happy! The wait has finally paid off and I'm so happy that I got 3 healthy hatchlings. I hoping to have even better luck next season.

Sorry about the one little one, of course. Never gets any easier...

On a much lighter note, DANG!!! Not a bad way to start at all. So happy for you. Have you been able to wipe the goofy grin off your face when you check up on them yet? I doubt it!

Thanks Eric! It was really hard losing the little one but I had prepared myself beforehand about the possibilities of hatchlings not making it. Some of them just aren't meant to thrive and sometimes there's only so much you can do...

But I am still very happy and proud of the results! I feel like I did pretty darn good for my first clutch! And I don't think the goofy grin will ever go away!! They are just so dang tiny and cute and beautiful! I love them so much [emoji4]

Thanks so much! I really love OD combos too and was really hoping to get some OD combos in this clutch but I wasn't expecting the odds to be in my favor but I guess the odd gods heard my prayers and answered them generously [emoji4][emoji1488]

Thanks so much piedlover :) you were so helpful with keeping me sane during that last week or two of their incubation so thanks for that too!

Can't wait for people to weigh in on if I have the genetics right on these little guys haha I'm still very unsure. Now the wait for them to shed is going to drive me crazy too [emoji23]
