Well, a couple months ago I had my 2 female black rats each lay a clutch of 10 eggs, 0 slugs. Well, yesterday morning the first snake pipped and stuck his nose out into the air. 24 hrs later I have 7 of 10 little noses sticking out from the one clutch, and the other clutch looks to be pipping soon. Very excited as this was my first clutch of eggs ever, and it's looking like 100% hatch rate! Happy dance time! I'll post pics when the heads come all the way out.

Early this morning the first little one left his egg! Man, this is awesome! This whole process really is incredible.
