The ... wait ... is ... killing ... me ...

Our very first clutch is hatching out ... very slowly. Its like they know it is just killing me.

The first one pipped on Sunday, then another on Monday. On tuesday the first one came out and two more pipped. Today the second one is out and two more have pipped. :confuse: :crying: :dizzy: Don't get me wrong I am super excited, I just am toatally frazzled waiting!!!

Here is an updated pic, there are two in the back together. The one on the front left pipped this morning, but decided he liked the inside of his egg better. The one on the front right is the only one that has yet to make an appearance.

I bet Bill, I have been a basket case ... I finally called Adam after the first two pipped to get his opinion on cutting the rest. I am not sure if doing that and seeing them made it better or worse. :oops: Can't wait to see what you get hatching out too!!!

Neil

Thanks Mike, looking forward to seeing pics. Sounds like the next couple weeks are going to be full of pipping and hatchling pics around here. :D

Oh Neil!! Well deserved with all your hard work and dedication :gj:

Congrat's Neil you could wait it out, I've got a whole year before I see some of that pipping.LOL Can't wait to see them all cleaned up.

hehe, i heard snake babies were nerve-wrecking! I'm glad my beardies are usually out of the egg in 2-3 hours.

Congrats!

Thanks Chris ... did you see RC is going to be a dad?

And thanks everyone else too, still only 4 out, but all of the other 3 are pipped. Got so worried about the last one I cut the egg some more this morning and prodded him/her with a Q-Tip. Got some movement and the tongue flick, and about an hour later there was a head sticking out ... :rolleyes:

I guess Alyssa never put in there that they were from RC.

woooo hooooo !!!!:carrot:

Neil

OK everybody is out of the eggs. We got them cleaned up and wound up with 4 females and 3 males. My popping skills are not the best so we wil have to re-check them in a few days. Anyway, Alyssa will create a new post with pics later today.

I would like to take a moment to thank everyone who helped us get to this point (the list is long believe me). In particular I would like to thank Adam, who started by helping me decide pairings last winter, and has helped answer questions at every stage of the process. I owe you big time ...:carouse:

Neil

CONGRATS! :D
they look great

I cant wait till next year to breed my 2 snakes :]

Congrats Bro. Nice ratio too. I'd take it. Now, get Alyssa on that camera.

ahhhh i missed the excitement!!! congrats!
