The single most anticipated clutch of my career and my life!

Huge congrats! It sounds like you've been waiting a long time. You deserve to hatch out your dream snake I wish you much luck. I'm waiting as well for my most anticipated clutch of the year from a het pied X het pied. I've got a little worse odds than you but I have my fingers crossed. I'll know in a couple weeks. Here's to pieds. :salute:

I know the feeling I got my het in 07/08 ( can'tremember when) but the firt lcutch produced a pied for me ( low white0 that I traded off ince i knewI can produce more) last season slugged out ) this year I got 5 eggs pipping this week and 2 out already buyt waiting to see if the pied(s) come out .

Congratulations, nothing feels as good as spending years on a project and finally seeing come to fruition. Best of luck on the clutch!

Crossing all my crossable fingers for you, nothing like hatching pieds :gj:

Congrats and good luck!

Thank you everyone for sharing my joy. Only here can I tell my goals and dreams to people who not only understand, but celebrate as well.

I tell you, last night I was so happy I was crying. I never caught her ovy, and had just about given up hope. She is still small, right at 1600 before laying, so I knew there was a real chance she wouldn't take. I sobbed and sobbed the whole time I was cleaning her up and I laid her on my shoulder and just cried while hubby finished up her tub. I swear she knew how much it meant to me, because she just laid her head on my shoulder and kind of squeezed me a little, for all the world like she was trying to hug me.

And something else interesting. All five of my other girls really pitched a fit after I took their eggs. Pacing around the tub, really restless for a day or two. Not Toki. She came to the front of her tub once last night after I pulled her eggs and looked at me. I cracked open her tub and stroked her a little, and told her thank you for her gift. She went right back to her hide, and that is where she still is. Quiet as a mouse. Or in this case, quiet as a snake. :D
