I am so excited! Just as excited as I was when she was laying (maybe more so)! The little head is soo tiny! I'll update this thread as more pip! AAAHH!! Soo excited!! :D:D:D

Side Note: Should I be seeing tongue flicks??

What day? Do you not cut the eggs?

Congrats!

Sorry...should have included that...today is day 59. They were incubated a little lower at between 87.5-88 degrees. I've decided that I'm not comfortable with cutting and don't plan to do so unless an egg seems to be in trouble (i.e. they've all been pipped for a bit and one or two haven't pipped yet).

Who were the parents?

Big Congrats on your First,It's definitely the one you'll always remember:gj:

Very cool, congrats! Can't wait to see them out of the egg. :)

Cool! Normally, around this time, I move the eggs to a different container with a wet paper towel on the bottom. I don't like them to come out and crawl around on the light diffuser. Also, I put a small water bowl in the egg box. Those babies sometimes seem thirsty coming out.

Congratulations!:banana::banana:

Congrats Kat.........................and quit staring it won't make them come out any faster :rofl:

:O Do you have hidden cameras in my house!? How do you KNOW!! :rofl: LOL!

Nothing new to report. Nobody else has pipped :( Guess this little guy (who sort of looks to be a pastel from my completely uneducated view and his tiny little head) is a trailblazer!

Grats on the first clutch baby snakes are so cute :)

Well it's been about 12 hours since I found the 1st guy with his head out. I caught him about 2in out of the egg and I'm pretty confident he's (she's) pastel. Checked a bit ago and saw this:

You can see the egg next to him has some cuts in it, so it looks like that baby is on its way.

And just so y'all can have the full experience, here's a shot of my midwives/nurses. :D

Alright folks. It's been almost 30 hours since the first one pipped and SHE'S out of the egg. YUP!! Female pastel! Which is what I was hoping to get from this clutch so everything else is gravy!

This morning when I checked everyone except one had pipped so I went ahead and cut that one. Just in case the baby was having trouble getting through the shell. Justin Kobylka's video: http://youtu.be/VU8SwTiMK-0 was SUPER helpful with that.

So far I can confirm that I have at least 2 normals and 2 pastels (one of which being female). The rest are all tucked down in their shells and I can't really tell what they are without disturbing them too much (which I'm pretty sure they're already disturbed by this crazy lady sticking her head in front of the incubator every couple hours! LOL) so I'll just wait till I catch their little heads poking out.

As always, I'll post more pics and a big "clutch" pic when they're all out!

Thanks guys for all your congrats and well wishes! Ya'll are such an awesome community and have made this experience even better for me!

Wow, the first one you bring out, is the one you wanted the most; a female pastel!! Congrats!

Congrats!! :d

5 of the 7 are out! 0.3 pastels and 1.1 normals. Looks like there's still a normal and a pastel in the eggs.

Alright. I'm pretty sure ya'll are sick of hearing from me about this thread, so I promise this will be my last post about these guys for awhile (at least till they've all had their 1st sheds hehe!). The last little guy decided to exit his shell tonight so they are all out. Pretty much from 1st pip to all out took a little under 72 hours. We ended up with 1.3 pastels and 2.1 normals. Pretty good odds if I do say so myself. The weights range from 36g-53g.

Pics!!

This is the lil guy who is 36g. His shell was super small and super wrinkled all throughout incubation (really feared we'd lose it for awhile) and he was the 2nd to last to pip and last out of his egg. So I guess that makes him the "runt." I'm sure he'll catch up in no time!:

This was the 1st one to pip and the 1st out of her egg. We've named her Prima and she's definitely staying with us!!:

Great odds! Healthy babies! What more can you ask for??

Well done!

im liking the busy patterns!

Congrats....

Very nice looking babies.....

Really nice odds for a first clutch! So happy you got what you wanted :) :)

Hey Kat,

Grats on your first clutch, My Normal girl Zen just laid our first clutch this morning and I hope the Odds Gods smile at me as much as they smiled at you!!!!

Wow, another Congratz! Great odds, not only 1 female pastel but 3! They are a great looking clutch = D. They are all gorgeous, although personally I love pastel f02, her pattern is amazing! And go little guy!

Really wish I was looking for a pastel = D
