First Clutch Out of the Egg and a HUGE SURPRISE!

[Python Lair]

I had my first clutch of eight eggs fully come out of the egg yesterday! Turns out the clutch was a double sire having pins and mojos! pin and mojo x normal gave me: 3x Pins 1x Mojo 3xNorms and sadly 1x dead pin (the egg was crushed and it had looked very deformed when I cut it open but overall it was an awesome first clutch!!! Second HUGE SURPRISE was that I cut a clutch from a het pied female. I was totally shocked with the results since I had bred her with a pin, mojo, pastel, and a possible het pied male... Turns out both het pieds proved out!!! It looks like I have two pieds but I'm not sure yet!! All in all, this is a good first season for me, two clutches open, six more in the incubator, and I'm still waiting on two to lay!!!

Enjoy the pictures!! (sorry for the poor quality photos)


Mojo is a Female





This ones head is finally popping out of the egg today!

Congrats!

Excuse my ignorance but I haven't seen photos of eggs on paper towels before. Do you move the eggs to a dry tub after so many days?

I have them in a vermiculite/perlite mix but on day 56 I cut them, put them in another bin with moist paper towels, and set the bin back in the incubator. I do this so that when they come out of the egg, they won't be covered in medium!
