Well I say finally because the wait was killing me, although I am kinda glad they waited untill the Olympics were over. Monday the first two started pipping on day 58, one from each clutch. These are my first two clutches of corn snakes, so it's pretty exciting, and ironically my two females laid eggs on the same day and now both clutches are hatching together. Today is day 60 and so far 7 are hatched and out of the egg and looking good, 5 still pipping and 10 more surprises to go, since one of the clutch is triple het to triple het, and there is 8 visual phenotype possibilities I believe. The other clutch is the triple het (amel,carmel,stripe) bred to female motley anery. The first one out of the egg was a butter 1/16 odds so needless to say it was a pretty site for me. So far I have a butter, carmel, carmel striped, striped normal, and motley striped normal, and normal hatched out. The normal is possible het for stripe, motley, albino, carmel, and anery, crazy, but probably still only worth $10, lol. I will post a group photo when they are all out.
Thanks for looking

Thanks Jimmy, it is a blast, and every morning first thing I do is go downstairs and see whats new, and every night when i get home from work, a couple new pips or ones out of the egg, what is it? ect ect. With garters, they are born all at once and it's instant gratification, but what makes corns exciting is the 60 day wait, you just build up so much anticipation, it borders on anxiety attack.

I love it when several different morphs hatch out of the same clutch like this because each one is a surprise and you can't help but keep wondering "What's the next one going to look like?"

I don't care how long someone has been breeding, that's some exiting stuff!!!

Heck of a feeling ain't it?

Very nice Jeff,

It's exciting to hatch out your first clutch - and if you get some variety in the morphs of the hatchlings, well that's "icing on the cake."

Congrats!

Tim

Thanks Tim, it is icing on the cake, luckily for me I bought the triple hets as hatchlings from a friend who had been breeding corns for 15yrs, but he moved to Atlanta and you can't have corns because they are native, the butter stripe was his pet project that he never got to see thru, so I am lucky enough to be riding his wave and seeing this project out for him, still hoping for a butter stripe but the odds are 1/64, this morning it looks like I have an amel coming out too, not sure about the pattern yet,but hey I will take what I have so far and be thankful either way, the ones left to pip are just a bonus.
