Shortest Time to Emergence?

[janeothejungle]

Alright. I need something to take my mind off the last week till hatch and it got me wondering what are some of the shortest incubation times seen?? I artificially incubate all clutches at 89 and the shortest duration from laying to hatching (with no assistance) has been 54 days. Anyone have shorter times?? I just finished reading some old journal papers on other pythonidae species that list emergence as soon as 48 days and as late as 72.

If you don't have a shortest time, what are your averages?? Maybe if I talk to the little dears and tell them it's okay to come out a day or two early. I just know McFats (already taking up all the space in his egg) is going to bust a seam soon.......

How many days are your eggs at right now?

[janeothejungle]

~49

Of course, I'm sure little patty cakes is going to stay in there until day 75 or so.........

Hey Kat!

I know this clutch of littles have hatched, but for informational purposes... the clutch that just hatched here incubated at 89... and hatched between the 55th-56th day... They peaked at 96 for 3-4 days before pipping!

Resist!! Resist!! I incubate at 89 and I solemnly swore not to cut until they were officially late (day 56). Don't get advice from Joe, either. You know what he will say........

I am with you Kat, at day 54. Most of mine used to come out at Day 56 or 57, but this year, I am cooking them a little cooler, so I expecte our average to go up to about 58 days.

My earliest ever clutch pipped at 48 days incuabted at 90F...I always cut at day 50...Just can't resist...

Mine usually start coming out about 55 days after being layed.
