Early introductions

[diamondlil]

Polly's last 3 are lively enough, all poking their noses out, so that means I feel I can tally up my totals as follows;
Pearl, 6/9 hatched.
Kate, 21/21 hatched.
Annie, 16/16 hatched.
Sundance, 18/18 hatched.
Polly, 14/17 hatched, 3 pipping
78 babies!

A lot of pinkies too! I didn't expect so many to make it, that incubator is worth its weight in gold! Now it's doubling up as a hatchling rack.

 

[Susielea]

Oh my goodness 78!!! Congratulations Janine and good luck with all those hungry mouths and poopy tubs!

 

[CALIVIK]

HollyMollyGuacamole that's a lot of babies!!!!!!! Congrats on your success. You're gonna be one busy woman!!!! YAY!!!

 

[diamondlil]

Here's some little tummies filled tonight!

 

[SnakeAround]

Hey, you have about the same amount of baby's as I a the moment! I think it is manageable but I would not want many more!

Love the RO!

 

[Asbit]

Wow a great big congrats to you J9!!!! A lot of great looking babes there! Now your gonna be even busier than usual.

 

[diamondlil]

The okeetee/christmas babies have started shedding, so I'll try feeding them tomorrow

 

[Asbit]

Very nice!!

Hey Janine I have 6 eggs at 53 days now. I just asked on another thread for someone to post photos of hatchling setups & I remembered you had yours here!!! DUH!!! What size are your tubs? And do you glue or staple the cups in? Thanks BabyGirl!!! They look nice!
Awesome baby!!! Congrats!

I can't find a ruler! So I'll guesstimate the size as 7"x4"x2". They are sold as food storage/microwave containers. And the cups are tall enough that they can't be tipped over with a lip cut in. I don't glue them in because I throw them away if they get excessively soiled, washing out tiny cups is too much like a chore!

 

[diamondlil]

Kate's clutch have shed, and I'm hoping they'll all eat today. Here are the ones who obliged straight away with their fat little tummies

 

[CALIVIK]

Thanks girl! I bought sandwich size containers & was planning on gluing in medicine cups & putting an egg carton (the part that holds the eggs) as a hide. So I am still messing around. I think I do wanna go bigger I see your guys have stretching out room. I like that! Do you just cut the cups w/ a pair of scissors?

I only keep them in these little tubs until they've had their 3 feeds and sell on. So I have tried sections of tp roll as little hides, but they seem to like hiding under the paper towel best. The cups are just cut down with scissors. It's a simple set-up to start hatchlings off in.

@ CALIVIK I to have been reading little cups for watering dishes and found that a soldering iron works like a cutting torch through them and makes a very nice softened edge. Also love the soldering iron for putting the air holes in the containers, quick, simple and makes a softened edge. No chance the snakes will harm their noses if they start rubbing them on the holes.

Here's my favourites out of Pearl's clutch, granites after the first shed (and they ate first go too)

 

[SnakeAround]

They look promising!

 

[ceduke]

Pretty little ones!

The first old-school blood to shed (actually the second hatched)
