Awesome Eric, congrats on 1st pippers and good luck with the odds!

Congrats! Can't wait to see them once they've crawled out.

Those days from the moment they slit their eggs to the moment they are completely out always seem to be the longest.

And no staring at them won't make them come out faster. ;)

Congrats and that feeling you are experiencing right now is what it's all about.

???.. Ok so it's only been about two hours...but I'm excited for you...

Nope - I just learned that all it does is make them tuck their noses back inside their nice, warm egg. I LEARNED THAT!

Luckily for me, the one closest to the front is furthest along, so I can leave them all pretty well alone while I satisfy my curiosity. :D

Here's my view from the front row tonight! :popcorn:

Congrats! Even after hundreds of eggs, I still get that "happy kid" feeling when I see heads pipping!

Question: are their eggs always soft looking like that or does that only happen once they start piping?

They started looking more and more deflated the last couple weeks of incubation. Until then, they were bright, white, and round. This is perfectly normal from everything I've read (and now seen!).

Looking good so far!!

:D AAAA the pinky orange on that one little guy... looks like a grapefruit, I love it <3 Can't wait to see more!!

Eeeee! Please post many photos... many, many photos...

I'm going to guess a YB Fire. Nice!

The first crawled out of the egg this afternoon. I was going to wait until I had more out to post more pictures, but since they're taking their time here's the first baby out! Not the greatest pic, but that's pretty much all this little one would give me for a first pose. :cool:

Ah, the classic "I'm a freshly hatched baby and the world is terrifying".

Sooo... how's it going?

:D Update??

Congrats!! Hope the odds are in your favor. Each pip is like a little present lol. Any chance of a pic of the Enchi Fire YB ? sounds like a beautiful snake

1:30am update before I haul myself to bed: All 6 eggs have now pipped on their own. I actually got to watch the last one emerge and take its first breath, which is why I'm up way too late. There is still only the one completely out - I'm sure that'll change during the night. :)

Congratulaions!

Hatchling #3 - 3 down, 3 to go! :gj:

Being the snake noob I am, I'm guessing the colour can change a fair bit as they mature, but I have to say #3 is looking pretty cool :gj:

So much cute! Congrats!!

#4 and #5 are out! Of course, the first hatchling to pip is the only one left still in the egg right now. :rolleyes: :P

Just double checked myself on this - it's actually the last pipper left in the egg (pipped after midnight last night). I apparently put the tub in backwards from the way I had it sitting during the rest of incubation so "the egg on the end" was actually "the egg on the other end". Oops! Regardless, I checked and didn't see any twisting issues - I expect it'll be out by morning.

Hope everything is okay with the early pipper! Loving the pics, looking forward to seeing baby #6 and their post-shed colors!
