Yeah, I sure hope they don't make me wait this long every time! Next year is going to be a lot more exciting too! I am putting a Yellowbelly to a bumblebee (although she was already bred to GHI before I bought her so I am secretly hoping she ovulates and gives me GHIs), and the Albino spider is going to the albino. Then the Dinker Female may also go to the bumble bee, or one of the other guys... Im not sure yet ;) But this is just getting me super stoked about this coming season!!!

What sweet photos! Can't wait to have a clutch of my own to see all their little noses pip-- I know I'm going to set up a personal webcam to watch them 24-7 lol.

Very cool pics! Congrats! My first clutch decided to wait until 58 days to pip and I was a wreck. I could only imagine how you have been feeling. Way to stick it out.

Awwwwww! That little pipping nose pic is CUTE! :D

The longest I've ever had to wait on a clutch was 67 days. It can be a frustrating wait but totally worth it. Congrats!

Sad update. A few hours ago I checked the eggs and everything was looking great. The little pipper had his head out and was chilling while breathing in the world for the first time. The other egg I cut was also doing well. I also noticed that a third egg was hatching... there were three little slits in the side and fluid was seeping out. I decided to wait for Adam to come home before I showed him the developments while he had been at work. Well he just got home, and when I went in there I noticed that the slit egg hadn't changed at all. That seemed weird to me, so I cut the hole open wide. The snake didn't move. I guess the poor snake tried to get out and used up all his energy before drowning in his own fluid. Now I feel bad, wondering whether I should have cut. The snake looked otherwise healthy and had a pretty pattern, even though he was normal. I decided to go ahead and cut the other two eggs. I didn't want another drowning snake overnight. All the other snakes are still moving, so I hope we only had one loss. Still, I feel terrible. I know these things happen, but I wanted to start my first clutch off with perfect success! Live and learn I guess. I will update you on the status of the other ones as they (hopefully) leave the egg.

Another update! Two out of the four remaining hatchlings have crawled out of their eggs! Just waiting on the last two babies and I will have my first clutch "on the ground!" Photos will be posted tomorrow :-)

Sorry about the loss. :( Don't blame yourself. If something was wrong with that particular baby it might not have mattered if you cut or not.

Congrats on the rest, though. :) Pics?

Sorry for your lost little one:( can't wait to see the other cuties:)

Wow so sorry to hear about your loss! I guess these things just happen sometimes :(

Very glad to hear more of them are coming out tho! Congrats!
