But you have had issues this year! Not with hatchlings, but with eggs, and IMHO that belongs in this thread or one like it. A torn egg that was leaking, and power loss resulting in a dip in incubation temps. BTW, I think you said at least some of the eggs that had the temp drop had hatched out ok, but I don't remember seeing any update on the leaky egg. Can you update us on those please (or give me the link if I've missed it)?

Casey,
My apologies for no updates on the torn egg. The egg sealed up after 1 day, and filled out fine. We just cut that clutch of eggs yesterday, and all of the babies look great. I think the torn egg contains an Enchi. When they crawl out, I'll post pics of the hatchlings.

As for the dip, we have hatched out 7 clutches so far that were involved in the temp drop. Out of over 40 eggs, only one snake died in the egg after we cut it, and I don't attribute it to the power failure, as the other 7 eggs hatched fine. Probably was just a developemental issue.
