Day 46

Just curious about how to tell if it's a spider lol because when I did candle them like a week ago I could see some little heads at the sides of some eggs but most where just at the bottoms

Alright so I got just a we bit impatient but not like last time I waited till last night day 54 and made a tiny cut into on of the eggs to reveal a normal which means I got normals and spiders I'm pretty excited first clutch I had was Cinnies and now spiders and normals

Congrats, it's better than getting presents at Christmas for me. Unless I'm getting more Ball Pythons.

Congrats on the clutches! Good luck! :gj:

Ok soo I'm really excited to see what these spiders look like I've seen 3 that look completely different one has lots of white coming through the gold one looks nice and bright and last but not least one looks like a normal but has spider color and bits of banding but their all playing peek a boo and I have to wait a day or soo

I imagine it is very bright in contrast to their warm, dark little world they've been residing in for the last 50+ days. When they do squirm you run the risk of them twisting their umbilicus and that is a serious complication. While I have no proof of this, it really isn't much of a stretch to deduce.

That's is an interesting thought. My wife just candled at 3 weeks (to make sure they were still good) and seen what appears to be a head move. After reading this we won't be candling after we see movement to be on the safe side.

I may have cut too big of a hole in the eggs but never nicked any veins or at least ones that bled theirs some normals and spiders but I think it was 2 normals and 1 spider here their playing peek a boo atmhttp://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/07...a459d33dc6.jpghttp://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/07...9d9b64e1cf.jpghttp://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/07...e50f503e4d.jpg

Ok what I believed was a spider that came out is either the nicest looking normal ever or something else because I always thought my spider had another genehttp://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/07...d71cc57f76.jpghttp://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/07...dc859be7af.jpg
