day 48 my 1st pips ever!!!

Well when I whent to check on the eggs, I saw a slit in one of the eggs. I took my flash light moved a little part of the egg to see a pastel.Then one of the other eggs moved and I saw a tiny head poke out then right back in. I'm so excited. I will try to post pics,and keep every1 posted.

Congrats!!! It is a great feeling to be part of a hatching :)

Congrats! I'm so excited for you. This is my third year breeding and I've still not gotten to see a little head pipping out of an egg. (although I'm very determined to get to see it THIS year!)

Well here is my 1st baby,as you can see one of the eggs molded up badly, but bad comes with good.

Temp that is on the helix is set at 92, along with another temp and humidity gage in the eggbox tht stays around 88.9-91.1 with humidity around the high 90's.

God its killing me to sit there and just watch a head come out for a bit then go back to bed,JUST COME OUT ALREADY!!! lol. I've been trying to get a good pic, but I am limited with only my phone.Anyways this is another picc of the little girl (hopefully).

Because the babies need the time in the egg after pipping to absorb their yolk. It gives them just a little bit more time in the protection of the shell to finish developing--like how human babies need the last week or so to properly develop the lungs. Babies can and DO come out early...but you're better off waiting for them to decide they've cooked long enough on their own. :gj:

awesome... great pictures...
cant wait to breed royals, after many years of corn breeding.. royals will be a nice change

Every egg has open up,so I decieded to slit a bigger opening in the egg. So far i can see 2 definate pastels that look awsome so much blushing,1 normal that still looks nice,and then we have one that likes to hide and only show here white belly. Once there all out of the egg I'll take weight and pics. I cant wait to see them after they shed.

Awesome!!! I'm glad to hear it! I bet you're extremely excited!! Can't wait for pics. ^_^

Congrats! That's a pretty darn short time for pippage!

awsome i cant wait till i get my first clutch!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

awesome!... cant wait to start breeding.. its still a long way for me :)

Alright one of the babies is out,the only thing is that I'm worried about is she/he only weighs 40grams. Once I saw the weight I got kinda scared,but all the yoak in the egg was absorbed. She/he inbelicle cord was also off of her. Do I have anything to worry about extreamly or just keep in eye out on her/him. She is now pretty active in her tub.
I'l post a pic shortly.

She will be fine. Just set her up on a moist paper towel, and wait for her to shed. Grats on your clutch, by the way.

i had a few hatchlings last year that came out around 47 grams and they all did very well. im sure your little guy will be fine. congrats on hatchin em out!

Well I gave her a moist paper towel, and I cut a tiny part off of the carbord of the paper towels to give her a small place to hide. She also started drinking water. A few pics
