    1st Pip!
    yesterday, Wed, 8/29 was Day 60. the eggs had began to dimple before i left town for the weekend last week and made it hard to candle. i expected to come back to some pips but they held out.

    :rage::frustrate:angered:


    so i checked yesterday morning and see nothing. i get home and check around 6pm, then again at 8pm. i'm trying to decide if i should cut. i check again 2hours later and i got my first pip!!

    i think it's a Fire-something.

    :pinkele:


    i am ecstatic and check again in a bit. around 11:30pm, i get a 2nd pip!
    https://ball-pythons.net/forums/cach...om/UWtzxl7.jpg
    i think this is a YB.


    :bday:

    HBD kiddos!!


    'twas a good night. 2 pips and everyone ate on feed night! also FYI - i have to wait until theses 2 are fully outta the egg to see what they really are. there might be something else at play, so we will see!!

    BTW i went to bed around 1am but i couldn't sleep. i was all tingly, euphoric and thought i was gonna die! i probably got 3 total hours of sleep and woke up at 6am and went straight to the incubator to check for more pips. nothing! the 2 that pipped are still there w/ just their heads hanging out of the egg. they're chilling, relaxing and absorbing yolk still i guess.


    but then i check again at 8am and got 2 more!! w000t w00t!!

    How do you sleep?!?! I would be staring at them for hours/days on end. Holding mirrors to their tiny snoots to make sure they're breathing.

    Oh the trials of new motherhood! Welcome to it!!

    the first 2 to pip came outta the late last night and one of the Super's did this morning. i hung around and caught it taking it's first drink of water ever!

    Edit: they are really squishy and wrinkly and have a film of afterbirth (the egg kind) but they are cute and healthy!

    SO CUTE ! Super fire is one of the morphs that I really love, esp the few that have some yellow patches on them. Hands-down one of my favorite morphs

    so i decided to cut the last two eggs and boy were they some close cuts! looky i just missed some vitals!


    ahhh yolk!
    https://i.imgur.com/z3aCZxpl.jpg


    ahhh umbilical cord!
    https://i.imgur.com/XZvvFLil.jpg


    i also cut to make for room for the ones that pipped as well. they decided to go back into their eggs. i miss their pipping cuteness, so i might not cut pipped eggs again in the future.

    these are first 2 are out and one decides to sandwich itself down at the bottom.
    https://i.imgur.com/Rbp3TZkl.jpg


    one Super is out and it's got splotches! (i think it might also have YB.) the last one was the Fire (the one facing right), took 2 days before leaving it's egg over the weekend.
    https://i.imgur.com/10LJ6ntl.jpg
    here's a better peek at them and the other Super decides to make bubbles.
    https://i.imgur.com/uaT0Pdkl.jpg


    so they're all out. i taken a million pix and ehre are a select few:

    AWESOME!!!!

    There are a few in there that I really like. For the morph rookies like me out there...can you share the pairing?
    And any morphs of the babies that you can ID? (I know some it'spossibky too soon and they'll have to shed out)

    But I really don't know morphs well at all yet. So thanks in advance!

    ok pairing was On the Ball Pythons x E.B. Ball Pythons (from Eric Alan); they were Disco Inferno Pastel x Fire YB. i was shooting for a Disco Inferno YB but missed the mark. still got some nice babies tho!

    Super Fire gurl - i think she might also have YB and Disco
    https://ball-pythons.net/forums/cach...m/5irh17rm.jpg


    Disco Inferno gurl - also possible Pastel; looks like her father, low white, very blushed but not as yellow (at least not yet).
    https://ball-pythons.net/forums/cach...m/ZBaOqIAm.jpg


    Fire YB gurl
    https://ball-pythons.net/forums/cach...m/VtgOItgm.jpg


    Super Fire boy - clean but still might have hidden genes!
    https://ball-pythons.net/forums/cach...m/2PtfywZm.jpg

    Firefly boy - i'm calling this a Firefly, but it might be actually Pastel Disco.
    https://ball-pythons.net/forums/cach...m/9LC7az1m.jpg

    and last outta the egg was this Fire gurl - might be a Disco tho, but haven't handled a single gene Disco.
    https://ball-pythons.net/forums/cach...m/arzft3im.jpg


    what do u guys think? i'll post more post-shed of course.

    anyways they're all nice, plump and healthy. they do really act like babies. they just snuggle and sleep all day.
    https://ball-pythons.net/forums/cach...om/pWN0vkF.jpg

    i moved them to a larger tub for the pending first shed and they active, started flickering their tongues and crawled around a bit after all the poking, prodding and picture snapping i did.

    that's the splotchy Super that climbed up ion the left and Firefly on the right:
    https://ball-pythons.net/forums/cach...om/oVYt3Rj.jpg

    the SUper fell down when i opened the tub:

    but it climbed back up:

    the other SUper decides to play Anaconda:

    curios lil babies:

    but they tire quickly and calm down to take more naps:
