First clutch ever!

Yes...wait till they are all out and the onto moist paper towel they go. You will want to check the paper towel no and then and change it out if it starts to dry out, or you can mist it down.

Congrats on the pips, nothing better than seeing that first little head poking out looking at you.

I can't wait! I think it looks like a normal but my mom thinks its looks more like the head of my mojo. What do you think?

Egg number 2 has 2 slits but no head (heads?) poking out yet!

I'm on my iPhone so it's hard to tell. Probably safe to cut the egg a bit now that it's pipped. I usually wait till the first egg in a clutch pips then cut them all, but that's just me!

I would but my fiance is at work and I don't want to cut without him!

Understood!! Post some pics after you cut. Would like to see them.

Oh yeah, plenty of pics to come for sure! I can't keep my face out of the incubator!!

Awwww your first pippie!! Awesome! Congrats!

I leave them on the light grate while they are hatching, IF I'm going to be around to remove the hatchlings from the egg tub. Keep in mind it can sometimes take 3-4 days for them all to come out.

I had to go stay a few nights in Vancouver the other day, so I just moved the remaining 3 eggs to a new tub with moist paper towel so that I didn't have to worry about them trying to get under the light grate or anything.

Also to note: sometimes before the snake actually emerges they can make multiple slits, nothing to worry about.

Be careful about looking in the incubator too often, I've heard of snakes going back into their eggs because they were startled, and drowning on the fluids inside :( It's best to just let them be. I usually check once in the morning and once at night to see if any babies need to be moved to their new tubs in the rack.

The first head looks like a normal to me!

I should be around so I'll just leave them be. Right now it looks like I have a normal and a mojave and 8 eggs to go!

My 10yr class reunion is tonight and to be honest, I'm having a hard time convincing myself to go instead of sitting next to the incubator all night! I keep telling myself, they will come whether I'm here or not!
