The Itch to Cut Eggs

5 days to go.....5 whole days to go....that's somewhere around 7,200 minutes or so until I get to cut our next clutch! :O

Boy time sure crawls at a time like this doesn't it. :(

i agree with you Jo. i hate this waiting when it's down to the wire like this. whats this clutch from

Hang in there!

A clutch of possi het Albino's from our 100% het Albino male, Malachi and our normal female, Kyna - but I'm excited anyways LOL. Can't imagine how the days are dragging for you Gene with your clutch possibly having that Lesserbee in there.

you do know that they should hatch on there own when they are ready.....no need to cut for them, they have their own cutting instrument.

What day are you cutting on Jo?

Good luck on a nice female heavy clutch. :)

The days drag that last weekd don't they?:snake:

Today is day 50 for my first clutch of mojave eggs. I cut my pastels on day 51 because I had my niece over and I wanted her to see, too. These mojos are from a breeder loan so I have to wait a couple more days. Then I'll have to wait 8 more days to cut another 7 egg clutch of mojave eggs. It's all smooth sailiing until I get into the 40+ days, then it drives me crazy.

Jo the days always drag even for a normal clutch i always want to see into the eggs. i wish those x-ray glasses i bought off the back of that comic book would get here. LOL

Yes, and I've actually seen babies that were unable to succesfully cut their way out and ended up drowning in the egg.

It's a choice that I personally made to cut eggs anywhere between Day 52 and Day 54 to ensure that doesn't happen to any of mine.

Even when they are cut - they'll eventually come out of the egg on the day they were supposed to. At least that's been my personal limited experience.

I'll be cutting my last clutch on August 5th!

I am on day 53 and I have that same itch. I candled 2 eggs last night and I could see the patterns through the eggs!! I will be cutting sunday!

Gee really? :rolleyes:

Yes I'm very aware of a snake's ability to use it's egg tooth to get out of it's own egg. I'm also aware of the ones that don't make it out. Cutting is a breeders own personal decision but thank you for your concern.

We're cutting on day 52 which for us is the 30th of July for this clutch. Thanks for the words, we would really like to see a very female heavy ratio on this clutch.
