This clutch is not the only one that my pastel-now-het pied male produced this year.

I want to be able to establish the line really well in house and discover what I can about it before I sell a homozygous male. It's early to say but I think there may be some unque characteristics about my line. It will take time to tell. That doesn't mean I can't be talked out of a few poss hets though...

I just have a quick question, just out of curiousity.

Does cutting the egg open like that have any effect to the snakes? I see people do that a lot. How close to the hatch date do you usually wait? Or is it after the hatch date that you open them?

These babies need to hatch lol. I think we are dieing to see them :D

I don't normal pip eggs manually... But when I have over the years, I've never observed any change in the hatchling positive or negative. The earliest I have every piped has been 54 days. There are some who pip significantly earlier than that. If you notice in my pics the veins are laying on top of the hatchling. Through most of incubation these viens are attached to the inside of the shell, but they drop down in the last few days of incubation... Then again I've never seen a baby that was adversly affected from cutting a vein either.

Thanks, I figured it couldn't have any negative affects if people did it, I was just curious.

Totally cool Justin, congrats!!!! Its good to see something work out like this. Can't wait to see the whole clutch out.

When you cut them open arent you afraid of hitting the snake?

That is totally SWEET!! I'm so excited for you! That is so crazy!!!!
