They're FINALLY starting to hatch!!

Congratulations - it was reading about your "they're on day 70" post that made me feel confident leaving mine alone - that it wasn't just me that had eggs that were what felt like months overdue!
 
Congrats! One a side note..... are you sure your thermometer is working correctly? :shrugs:
 
Carol, I'm 99% positive the thermometer is correct. I thought that could have been a culprit as well, and around day 65, I checked it with another thermometer, and they were within a tenth or two of each other. I'm chalking this up to just a bizarre incident.

I need to thank you, Mathew; as you have been both an inspiration and a role model to me. I am not only in my first year of breeding and incubating, but an all around (nervous) and impatient person. Through your trials and tribulations, I have learned; just a bit, to calm down a bit.
Thank you.
People keep asking me what day of the month it is here, and I always say, "No clue, but it's day 63." Nice way of keeping time.
Thank you for all your patience and figuline that you kept w/ those babies. You did really well.

No problem Daneale. And a big thank you to you as well, and everyone else for helping me keep my sanity. They really can try your patience sometimes! At day 63, you're doing just fine! ;)

Can't wait to see some pics when yours decide to come out.
 
:dancer:

YAY! congrats! thats great to hear youve finally seen some movement. Now your heart can take a breather.
 
*Final update*

Well two hatched right away. Another about two days later and came out with a stubby and kinked tail. The kinks are at the very end, and aren't too bad - but it's just going to be sold (probably given away) as a pet only snake. And the last egg didn't hatch. After a few more days I slit the egg and it was DIE and very deformed. Sorta sucks, but it's part of the game...

I'm happy to hear that three did end up making it. A kinked tail if it doesn't hurt the snake can just add more personality to a snake imho. It's sort of like people who happen to have scars or a birthmark (like my daughter). Where would the world be if we were all the same, after all?
I'm sorry about the DIE one, though. My tenth egg was a little bit of the same, though this one was just beginning to form and very small.
So, when do we get to see pics?

Thanks. I'll be snapping a few when they've had their first shed. They've all just cleared up after being in blue the last day or so, so should shed any day now.

Cool cool. I did take some of mine, but am also anxiously awaiting their first shed and pics of yours. How long does it usually take them to shed after pipping, btw?
