2013 Clutch Number One Pipping

[Sarin]

Hey Nicole - Love pipping pictures! How many more clutches do you have cooking?

I have one other clutch in the incubator (Pastel Enchi male x Vanilla female) with about 6 more females due to lay within the next month.

i got a question .. i havent made it this far .. i have never had a clutch this season hoping to b my 1st if my male gets to weight .. now when they pip like that do u take the egg out and put them into something bigger so when they break thru they have room and also when they pip like that im assuming u take them( shoe box) out the incubator .. where do u put them ? in ur rack system? in there own tub ? i read about them having to absorb there yolk so like .. i just wouldnt really know what to do i dont wanna mess nothing up .. common sense tells me when they pip like that take all the eggs out of the shoe box in the incubator and put them in another tub all together and throw them in the rack system and let them chill for at least a day or so b4 i touch/ sex them .. sorry if posting this on here but since ur going thru it now i figure u can give me some pointers ... if thats cool .. thanks

I leave them in that tub in the incubator. Once they pip, they absorb the yolk. When the yolk is absorbed, they crawl out of the egg. I then take the baby, wash it off, weigh it, sex it, and make up his/her card. Then place the snake in a shoebox tub with wet paper towel in the rack system. I do the same with the other hatchlings as they emerge from the eggs.

I keep them in the tub together until they shed and take their first meal, which is about 2 weeks.





First one out and it is a male Phantom.
