Woke up this morning to this tired girl and her clutch of five. Four look good, with one rubbery one. They don't go in the drink until they stink though!LOL Eggs just removed 1st pic. (Santa Cruz Ric Blair stock) All my others should be laying in the next two weeks.

She looks small Joe. Are they normally small? Good luck with the eggs!

Jorge, she is about 26 inches long and four years old. She looks smaller in the photo but she is still not a big snake. I have a coast male that is about three feet long, but I am not sure she will ever get that big.

Best of luck with those four eggs Joe!.....love the multifasciata's!

Thanks Doug. Thought you might like that one!! LOL Man I had a Kern baby hatch last year from an egg that looked BAD, I mean real bad. So yeah, that is my new motto!

I hear ya man!. Do you remember this Hondo egg from a couple years ago?. It started out looking good, but about 1/2 to 3/4's into incubation the one egg really started to get hammered by fungus on one end regardless of my constant treating with fungiside. It was all hard, bulged out at the end and black with green fungus fuzz..LOL!

They were almost ready to hatch and the rest of the egg other than the whole end still looked very good and white and all, and had no bad scent at all either, so I figured there was still a very good chance it would go onto hatch successfully. Well, sure enough, the neonate hatched out fine, and was very healthy ever since with it's new owner.

I looked inside the egg wall after it crawled out, and it actually looked very normal..LOL!

Anyway, I agree, and only toss eggs when I know that there is no question about them being bad.

~Doug

It doesn't look too nasty in the top pic, but this one shows that it is pretty gross looking on the entire end. It's other sibling sister there in the corner can't even believe her clutchmate made it out alive from that one..LOL!!.

Thanks bud.

Good job for this little mama! Now you can have fun feeding her. My female pyro laid her clutch on 4-25-11 and has been eating like there is no tomorrow every other day. Love it!

Yeah, I will let her rest and try to give her multiple small meals tomorrow. I am sure she is hungry as all get out. Congrats on your pyro eggs!!

Congratulations Joe!

Thanks Paul. See ya Saturday. Check your email later.

Great Job Joe!!! Nothing like a little eggs in the morning to start your day. Can't wait to see pics of them pipping.
