I so badly want to see...

I need you guys to talk me down off the ball python egg cutting ledge. The eggs are all fully dimpled (day 54 at 89-91...it's been hot here). I don't want to cut them because I think they need help...I just want to see inside! Must...resist...must not break open the sterile suture cutting kit that I nicked from work.

Must be good. Right?

Haha, that was me a week ago. Since day 52 I wanted to cut and had to talk myself out of it. I decided to wait for a pip and if I got nothing by day 57 I would cut. Stay strong haha resist temptation.

Thank you! I do need to stay strong. The last few days are the hardest! Doesn't help that I'm home. I need to leave the house and remove the temptation. I swore I'd wait til first pip

Question.... Dumb question but what is a pip I also want to breed balls I'm just starting out I wanna have everything ready before I start I wanna do it as a hobby/passion I love snakes especially ball pythons (like everybody else lol)

A 'pip' is the term for when a ball python makes a slit in the egg and pokes their head out. It's the first stage of hatching.

PS- no pips for me today....

Dang it! I was hoping one would pip for you :P

I know!! Come out and play little ones! This last week of waiting is the hardest. However all of the eggs look really good and are nicely dimpled. ....soon....soon.

Thank you for the info I can't wait till I start breeding I'm still trying to figure out if I wanna get a rack system or get 2 more ap- t8's with dividers

It's hard I know. Just let them hatch. When you think about it. Once you cut the eggs the suspense and fun is over. Give it another day or two.
