Well 3 of the 9 have piped after 61 days of incubation and there is another clutch of het's cooking that are a month behind these. They where incubated on the shelf of my snake room (that's how I personally incubate all Colubrid eggs). The temp's fluctuated from 76-86 over the period.



I love the little monsters when they first poke their heads out and come into the world!!!







Here is one of the clutch from a little further back. You can see the 3 ones in the first row are the ones that where first to pip.







Note: The eggs where not exposed like that. I use course vermiculite and also a mass of airy moistened sphagnum moss packed to the top of shoebox till they start piping then I remove the moss so I can watch easier. The eggs also get 2.5 times larger then when they are first laid the way I incubate them, fully hydrated eggs hatch out larger more fit neonates!!
