    Piebald egg update..
    Temperature and humidity stable. All 5 eggs looking good with dimpling noted in all of the eggs. Today is day 53! No pipping but noticeable slits from egg teeth in two of the 5. I took the press and seal off the tubs and saw the humidity is still at 99% with visible condensation in the tubs. I will post pics tonight or early tomorrow guys.

    Happy New Year Kok! It's going good. Went out of town to visit family for the holiday and I am on my way back home. As soon as I get there and view the hatchlings I will put up pictures for all. Thanks again. Haha.

    http://ball-pythons.net/gallery/file...age_772346.jpgSorry for the darkness but I was trying to not frighten them back into the egg but you can see the 1 that did a quick retreat. Other 2 eggs have yet to show their heads.

    Thanks A, that's so cool! The 4 pieds pipped and look pretty good tonight. The 1 other egg had two small slits as if the little guy is trying to come out. Have not seen his head yet.

    Re: Piebald egg update..
    It's 10:20 pm and the 5th pied egg has not pipped but did cut into the shell with his egg tooth. I see two small slits but was concerned bc I didn't see his head. It's day 57 and all the others have shown their heads. I made a decision to cut across the 2 slits to widen the breathing capability of the hatchling. And to make sure he was ok. I was able to ascertain that he is alive and is moving. Thought he might have just been too weak to pip like the others. He was the last egg laid so I felt he might need some help presenting himself. Will observe him more closely now.

    Re: Piebald egg update..
    Did not get much sleep due to keeping watch over egg #5 after cutting into the slits to widen the oxygen exchange ability for the hatchling. As of 4am three of the hatchlings completely emerged. The other two are still inside the egg. This is what we have so far.

    Thanks el, #5 has pipped about 2 hours ago. I think he should emerge later today or tomorrow. I felt it was important to cut and it seems like it was.

    Yeah, really wasn't sure bc he had put 2 slits into the egg prior. All I did was to cut across those slits to widen the hole. Can't wait to show off # 4 and 5. Haha

    Wow! Those babies are so cute! Special to see that they all seem to have their upper body in "normal" and the pied only in the bottom. I have no idea what it is called so sorry for that....

    I do hope #5 gets out all right! Cannot wait to see them all :)

    Thank you Felidae, 4:20 pm and just got done checking on both and they both have their heads out but remain in the egg.

    Yeah thanks Ufoo9k, I think they are "low to medium" white pieds. I'm glad they are healthy so far. I glimpsed #4 in the egg and it looks like he may be a higher white than all the others. I think #4 and #5 are just slower developing. They were all incubated at temps only about 1.0f difference. The 3 that are out were in the same tub. The last two are in a different tub. All in the same incubator. Lol

    Thanks LTG, for reading through and I am glad to update everyone with this exciting news. I like #4 also. #1 should get honorable mention bc he looks almost like a pastel pied with the spotted patterning. #1 is on the left in the first pic. Hahaha.

    Of course every pied is gorgeous, I think I like number 1 and 2 the best.
