Very nice Toby, have you tried feeding them yet or do you wait for first shed?

Thanks Graham! I wait until they have shed, but these have already had their first meals. They all took large f/t pinky mice without hesitation - good little (big) eaters!

That's good to hear Toby, eating machines, just what I want when my T minus emerge which is imminent judging by the eggs starting to collapse. Hope to be posting my hatchlings here very soon.

Got my fingers crossed for yours to hatch soon, Graham! How many days is it now, and at what temps have you incubated them?

It's 60 days now Toby at 80F. They started denting on Friday and most are showing some degree of dents. I remember that yours started collapsing early and wasn't it about 13 days until they pipped. I hope my doesn't take that long as I'll probably be tempted to split them before that as 70 days at 80F seems a long time.
