    How long after pip do they come out?
    How long after the snakes pip and start coming out do they actually come out of their egg?

    and also, how long should they be kept in the incubator at 90 degrees?

    If your temps are 90, they should come out within 48-72 hours if not earlier, and leave them there until they are all out of the egg. :D

    Good advice. I used to take them out one at a time, but some of them would stay in their egg for DAYS. I think the movement of the other snakes encourages the lazy ones to get out faster.

    So... what temps do you keep new babies at?

    After the first pips I cut the rest and move them all to a 15qt or 28qt tub (depending on clutch size) in one of my racks on moist paper towels. After pipping they usually leave the eggs within 1-2 days and after all of them have left the egg I seperate them into individual tubs.

    Hope that helps :)

    2-3 days in reality...

    but that feels like it equals 2-3 WEEKS in anticipation... :oops:
