I posted this over in the Indigo forum as well because I am pretty pumped about hatching these. There really isn't a forum specifically for big arboreal colubrids, so I hope it is ok to share here too.
I am excited to share that I finally hatched out some Costa Rican Pseustes poecilonotus. This was quite a rocky road trying to get to this point and I actually thought I was going to have to wait another year for success because these eggs seemed to be over calcified and I thought they were all going to die in incubation (some did, but I am very happy to have what I have).
My friend Bryan Suson came into my house from Texas whistling within an hour of telling him my eggs were hatching. He was hard to understand, but all I could make out was something about batteries, lights, and black marble tables. So here I share the first shot and you can see how thick and calcified the eggs are.
If anyone has any information on successes and failures with this species, I would love to chat and exchange different experiences.
Thanks for looking!
