I bred two of my girls this year. My girl Norma gave me 14 eggs of witch nine are going to make it. I also bred my charcoal. Last month my wife was in the hospital for five days. During her stay Annie the charcoal laid 16 eggs. Unfortunatly I wasn't here much and I lost all but one. Then on June the 4th my 17 year old son died. During all of the confusion Norma laid her 2nd clutch on around the 5th. Unfortunatly snake eggs where the last thing on my mind. Needless to say she laid eight eggs and I lost all of those. To top that off the computer went down a couple of weeks ago. Yesterday my wife finally got around to installing a new modum and dvd writer. While playing around with the new photo program this morning I went to take some pics of the eggs. I had just checked on them an hour before. To my surprise the first egg was pipping. Day 63 just like the book says. So anyways, finally some good news. Pictures are on the way. Pethobbist isnt cooperating right now.

It gets a little easier each day. All you can do if continue on. I woke up this morning to one baby out of the egg, and three little heads poking out. Four out and five to go.
