this one is an older one, few weeks back. amels hatching.

[cornmorphs]

and this one is layng now.. nothing special but the eggs are perfect.
should all be normal het butter stripe. the mother here was one i produced years ago, she was from a clutch of 33 normals.. so i'm hoping she has a few, although the silly mare has laid them on the box and not it the box lol.

I had more (unknown quantity as she's covered them up and they will incubate in the viv) bearded pygmy cham eggs yesterday! Caught her laying for once - normally I just see hatchlings!

Ah well Im not as impatient??? lol
I do admit to a thread mentioning their tardiness but was advised to 'hang on in there'
The first 2 out a week ago were tiny little souls, although are fine, but those that came later ( and are STILL ) coming, are bigger. I have 16 out of eggs, 5 more to hatch but have pipped.
T-A-K-E ....I-T .....EEEEEEE-A-S-Y wat da hurry???

[cornmorphs]

i'm not impatient myself,m i can wiat no probs.. but for the sake of the snakes, if you have had a week gap and they are still hatching, inall seriousness you're very lucky.

[BlueRoses]

Well maybe I am lucky yes, but as I could see a daily trickle of heads popping up, and the resulting babies vigorous and healthy, it seemed appropriate to let nature take it's course. It looks like Im going to have a 100% hatch rate of healthy babies.

I am sure there is a case for slitting the eggs, but in very experienced hands ( like yourself )

I felt I could do more harm than good if I damaged the hatchlings. But thanks for your comments anyway
