First pip!

JenHarrison Jun 10, 2007 01:08 PM

This little guy stuck his nose out at me last night, and today (day 60) I find him ready to meet the world. The other two are still in their eggs, and don't look to be wanting to come out anytime soon... *eyeroll*

Congratulations Jen. Exciting isn't it? Must be even more exciting to see them pipping on their own. I've never seen that yet. I've only ever had 2 clutches so far, but I've ended up cutting both of them. I hope at least one of the clutches I have left to go this year comes a little early so I can see them pip. If they make it to day 60 without starting themselves, I get the scissors. Make sure you post more pics in a couple days when they're out. You expecting anything special?

This guy came out on his own, but I wondered about the other two so I made little holes to peek in. They both look just fine, they're just being lazy. LOL! One looks like he might have a cool stripe down his back, but I can't see how far it goes.

They came from Java (dad):

And Angel:

So far it looks like they may have gotten dad's silver eyes and faded head:

Dinking project that I don't expect anything other than pretty normals from, but I love how the parents look so that's why I paired them.

Cant wait to see the babies out of the egg. The female is nice too, but Java is a real eye catcher. I can see him being used in quite a few projects.

COOL! the others should follow soon can't wait to see them all out of the egg.

Is that it every hour,LOL When mine pip I will not be able to leave.

JenHarrison Jun 10, 2007 03:48 PM

This first one is probably wondering what in the world this giant is doing constantly opening up his dark, safe house to look at him all funny. LOL!

Still chillin' in the egg for now. My mom stopped over and I took the container out to show her, and he sucked his head back in. LOL! The other two still haven't made an appearance, even though I can see them in there. I get the feeling they're going to drag this out for a few days...

Congrats! That first pip and then exit is always so exciting! But then agin, even after several years, a pip and then exit still amazes me.

I came home from running errands all afternoon and checked on them, and he was coiled up in the corner. His belly is still a bit pudgy from the yolk, so I'm not going to probe him just yet. Looks like he got a bit of his dad's jungle-ish pattern, faded head, and silver eyes. Not that I think it's some "new morph", but I was always curious as to what traits in normals can be inherited by their offspring. Now I want to see the other two.

Quarter in the last pic is for size reference so Lex can get an idea of how little they are.
