    Congrats!

    I would keep your vacation plans as they are. To be honest you could go on vacation any one of those days and they would be fine, although I would not cut them if you aren't going to be around. They will be fine on their own, you really don't need to stress about them getting air or checking on them. Looking at them doesn't help them hatch

    Congrats! I voted for moving it early, but mostly because I wouldn't even want the CHANCE of them pipping without me being there to watch. Heh. Best of luck no matter what you do!

    DAY 54 - I'm glad I didn't move my vacation. The eggs have been severely dimpled for close to 2 weeks now. I am extremely anxious. For all of the crap I give people on egg cutting threads, I understand 100% why people do it now. I'm just praying one of these guys pokes his head out today! I can't even concentrate at work!

    If the eggs have all been candled multiple times with veins and are not showing any strange colors or spots, there is nothing to worry about with what I would call 'severe dimpling' is there? I mean, the eggs are sucked in some on the bottom, sides, top, all around. This is normal? SOMEONE TELL ME IT'S NORMAL I'M FREAKIN OUT MAN!

    Also, how long after leaving the egg do snakes usually have their first shed? I think people offer food 2 or 3 days after that shed? A week?

    1) it's normal You'll start to see heads pretty soon!

    2) How was the vacation?

    3) They usually shed roughly 1 week after they exit the egg

    Vacation was great. Hopefully they come soon because the rats are 3 days old and I don't want them to be too big by the time they are ready to eat.

    SO EXCITED!

    THEY'RE HATCHINNGGGGGGGGG

    It took all of my self control not to cut once I hit day 56 and there was nothing. I'm glad I didn't now - it was worth the wait.

    For the sake of completion and continuity I am posting here that on day 59 3/6 are pipped naturally and the rest look to be coming soon. You can see the babies as they hatch here at my new thread on this:

    Special thanks to all of those who spread knowledge to me over the last few years!

    Eggs!!

    Excellent, many congrats!

    Extra congrats for not cutting. Anyone can breed ball pythons, but not many have the willpower to let them pip on their own!

    Heading to look at pics now
