First hook-ups for me!!

[rich333]

I have My the Egg marked! LOL theres only the one that i think is a blizzard...i hope i'm wrong.

I'm told that if they are going to dbl clutch they lay about when the first are pipping. My Shade refused her last meal and just shed this week, same time the eggs pipped.

 

[rich333]

ok..So that means if shes gonna do it....i have at least 29 days to find out! No stress there!! LOL

 

[carnivorouszoo]

No stress for you but please send good vibes my way, poor Shade has been in and out of her laybox and restless as all get go. You'd think she had not laid yet this year

 

[rich333]

Sending you & your lil girl All the Best...Good vibes..i can muster. Have I mentioned that dbl clutching scares the crap outta me. Fingers are crossed for your girl!

 

[rich333]

28 Days and counting....

Are you going crazy yet, Rich?

 

[rich333]

Ummm...YEAH!!!! I'm trying to occupy my time with other things..but i always end up in the room with the incubator and my pen light...peeking thru the glass "window" of the incubator. Calling a friend in the realty biz. today...see if i can't at least find an apt. for now. I've told everyone i cant move till the eggs hatch,as they cant be moved. Kinda bitter sweet emotions ya know? Such is life.....am I going crazy....Yes. no doubt.

 

[Nanci]

Why not rent a house?

 

[rich333]

Well,

Yeah depending on what he's got avail. He told me the other day he'd "Hook me Up" LOL He's aware of the snakes...no secrets...so he's trying to put me somewhere that others wont mind having snakes nearby...or he said he has a few a bit farther out of town (country living)...where i wouldnt have any neighbors!! LOL (I liked that one).

When I bought my "house" I have now (it's a mobile home on five acres) the mortgage payment was _considerably_ less than rent I'd paid anywhere, ever. Maybe you could qualify for a loan? Although they are SUPER picky right now...

 

[rich333]

Actually, that's also a thought. I'm gonna let my buddy frank do some digging...and see what options will work for me. Either way, the snakes are priority #1 for me. What I was really wanting was to rent for about a yr or so..then make the move to owning something of my own. I've been employed by the same place for 16 yrs. and my take home pay is above $500.00 per week. I dont think i will have too much trouble finding a place to be.

 

[carnivorouszoo]

Thanks for the ell ishes on my girl, ingers crossed your eggs do ell for you and toes are crossed for you to find a place lol.

 

[rich333]

No worries here.

Question:
When Corn Snake eggs near Pipping....Do they produce more heat inside the incubator?? I know with Ball Python eggs the temps will increase a little when they near hatching. Or are corn eggs to small to make much of a difference?

 

[rich333]

Ok...according to my calendar(which is suspect at the moment!! Lol) We are exactly 7 weeks into the process. Will upload Pics of the eggs So you guys can critique them.

 

[rich333]

7 weeks in...egg pics.

Here ya go.......

 

[carnivorouszoo]

I believe mine took 9-10 weeks to htch but I used the shelf method.

I believe mine took 9-10 weeks to htch but I used the shelf method.

I'm Incubating at 82-83 degrees. So i'm hoping it wont go much past the 70 day mark..if at all. I come home everyday hoping to see the Humidity gauge at 95 % and the eggs dimpled...LOL...not yet.

27 days and counting.
