    Cut my Mojave clutch today, video included

    We had some requests for a video on cutting ball python eggs. The last request was from a non-herp person so I figured I had better get my butt in gear and make one! Spreading knowledge and hopefully sparking interest every chance I get

    Here is the video


    2 mojaves and 2 normals. One or both of the mojaves could be pastel mojaves, but I really don't know yet. I'm terrible at picking out pastel mojaves so hopefully it will be clear once they are out of the eggs.

    Here are some shots

    Congrats on the clutch! I love me some Mojo's and those look like they are going to be pretty ones just from the glance within the eggs. Post more pics once they are out

    Thanks for the video! I wondered how people did it with out worrying about cutting the babies. Gah. I'd be to scared to cut.

    Can't wait to I get to do this, I'm going to be really nervous when it comes to the cutting. I would feel terrible if I hurt one of the babies. Thanks for the great video.

    Thank you! I'm really excited about the mojaves! They look they are going to be awesome whether or not they have pastel in them!

    You're very welcome. It's really easy to cut the eggs, you just have to pinch the egg and the snake will be fine. It's certainly not for everyone though!

    It's very exciting! My husband and I have been counting down the days till I cut them. The female that laid these eggs was his very first snake!

    I've never nicked one of the babies. You just have to keep the egg pinched. I use to stress out about cutting veins but as long as you avoid the big veins you'll be fine.

    I thought one videobombing kitty was cute enough...then I saw TWO videobombing kitties! Too cute.They make me miss my grey and white kitty.

    As for the clutch, they look good! Maybe both of those mojaves will end up being pastaves!
