How awesome!!! Can't wait to see more of them.

Awesome odds!!! Post some pics of all those babies!

What did you use as an incubator? Looks like it just came out of a rack...

I told you that you'd cut today! :P

Congratulations! What I can see of them so far - is they're going to be beautiful!

the rack in the background is a hatchling rack im building and i use a converted fridge as an incubator.

yea you were right, i could not control myself. so when should i expect them to poke their heads out?

Congrats on the great odds. Depending on what temp you incubated, they will probably start poking out their heads on day 54-55 and crawl out between 57-59. If you incubated a bit cooler (say 88 degrees), those estimates could be 1 to 2 days later.

thanks tim. yea i incubated them in the 89-91 degree range. being that i cut on 52 do you think i need to mist them to keep them from drying out?

I did, it's certainly not going to hurt them to do so! If you left the flaps on, then it's less necessary.
