*cheer* I'm so excited for you!!! (living vicariously through you atm, since it'll still be a few years before I get the chance to start breeding!)
 
OK...here it comes....

I just wanted to take the time to thank each and everyone of you that has either viewed or posted to this thread...while i understand we have a Long way to go to see pippies..or the other 12 suspected eggs for that matter....you ALL have been outstanding with helping me and my knowledge of cornsnakes and cornsnake breeding grow a Vast amount in a short span of time. if i could buy everybody a beer i surely would. I've had less than 4hrs sleep since waking up 5:00am friday morning. yes it was self induced....no ones fault but mine....But i have been super-charged about this since the first breeding. I think the single most important thing i have learned is....Not to interfere with mother nature....the snake has millions of years of evolution on me...she knows what to do....i only need to be there IF she needs help...otherwise...things will pretty much take care of themselves. again, thank you to everyone that shared in this event with me.

i'm calling it a night....we'll pick this up again in the morning. when i will hopefully be sharing pics of 14 eggs and a content momma! :dancer:
 
YAY!!!! There so freekin cute!!! I always had a hard time judging how "big" they are, and that quarter sums it up very nicely ;) The dream comment is spot on, I'd probably be dreaming of all the possibilites that could be growing inside each and every one of those eggs--too cool!!!!
 
only 3 possibilitys...charcoal,ultramel charcoal, or blizzards...unless they both prove het anery..then..yeah..it gets a little freaky.

well,
actually it's very exciting & nerve racking all at the same time. you want to do everything "right" when in reality theres really no "right" way. which is what causes me the stress....you try to do everything perfect...but there is no perfect. ya know?
of course i'm a bit extreme in the worry dept.....but i guess that paid off..as this has turned into a monumental thread..2600 views?? wow! and we ain't done yet!
 
I am so happy for you, Rich. My first clutch ever was slugs. You can ask Zorro how upset I was. I felt like my heart was going to break. You pin so much hope on two little snakes- it is so thrilling when things go as nature intends, which it usually does!
 
Nanci,

yeah, i'm rather suprised at the apparently viable eggs at the moment. I was honestly trying to prepare for slugs. of course the other 12 could be just that. and if thats what nature(Murphy) deals me...i'll take it.
 
7:10 am .....she has passed an additional 4 eggs. total of 6 of 14 possible. im leaving her alone..doesnt look distressed..but she does look tired?? there is an egg about 3/8 of an inch prior to her vent..doesnt appear to be as large as the others that came before it....hopefully she's just resting....will check her again around noon.
 
was up at 6:30 am

Ok..checked on her at 12:00 noon. 1 egg...so 7 total of 14. the only GOOD thing i see so far is that with each egg passed the next one seems to drop right in place....She's just looks tired. Take your time sweetie...1 at a time is fine...lets just get'em all out!


Just a side note:

My Female B.P. (Normal) Has just surpassed the 1500 gram mark...She may need a boyfriend next year. :)
