Six was the egg that had the big gashes in it, the Edward Scizzorhands one. When I checked them and saw that seven was half out but six looked the same, I got worried and took egg six and its attached empty egg out to at least do a post mortem...but the egg was empty! Where the devil was the baby! It was not in the north east corner like I found the others. I lifted up the pan and looked underneath, even though I have the lid to the pan clamped on firmly. Then I looked in the pan in the south west corner, and there it was behind a bull snake egg. Talk about conditioning; it only took five similar events to make me fail to look a few inches to the left. In my defense, though, the baby was pointed to the south west like it had crawled from the north east already.

It is a sturdy 9.5 grams. I forgot to weigh the others so will do so after they shed. Then I will post new pictures of every one, too.

Thank you all for the continuing interest and praise on this clutch hatch.
