    My very first clutch

    I am happy to report that I now have 5 newly hatched BP worms. Because I was sure in the beginning if I posted anything about my first clutch , then I would manage to mess something up and would be on here explaining that the newbie screwed up the eggs. So here is my first time successful breeding attempt.

    I started pairing my normal female "Norma" to my yellow belly male "Harry" I witnessed 5 locks between them from December 5th thru Jan. 25 th.

    Here is Harry




    This was Norma on April 19th after her post-ovy shed.

    On May 24th Norma laid 5 big white eggs

    I incubated at 88 degrees and 99% humidity and was bound and determined to let them pip on their own

    On Saturday morning July 20 the first one pipped

    The second one pipped Saturday night , 2 more Sunday morning and the last one pipped Sunday night.
    All 5 have exited the eggs today July 23rd and I am happy to say that I "think" I have 3 yellow bellies and 2 normal

    Here is a group shot today and a few single shots. 1 of the normal has a large black stripe down his back and his alien heads are kinda joined together. I tried to get a pic of it but I did not want to stress him out, and will get better pics after they all shed.

    I want to thank everyone on here for the knowledge that have passed on. I don't post very often because I am so new to this hobby and have so much to learn. But I know this clutch was successful because of what I have learned from the members of this forum.
