Childrens Hatchling pics

[gonesnakee]

I know you have all been waiting to see a pic of baby Children's from someone so heres a couple pics of the first one hatched (Tuesday 13th). I wanted to get some good pics of them pipping etc. but they wouldn't co-operate. This one hatched the 13th & none of the others even pipped. The next day (Wed 14th) at noon 3 (clutch was 11) more had pipped, but that was it. That night at midnight the 2nd one had hatched & the 5th egg pipped. Thursday (15th) at noon the 3 that had pipped, had hatched, but the remaining 6 eggs had still not pipped. I was getting that impatient I need to do something feeling at this point. I'm glad I left them be because over the next 12 hours the remaining 6 all pipped on their own. Today at noon 2 more had emerged, but the other 4 are still hiding out. I'm a little worried about the one though (last one pipped) it only had a tiny slit & I think I may have goofed by not helping it. I made its "slit" bigger today, but I think the poor little one may not be alive in there anymore? I will find out later I guess. I hate it when eggs don't all hatch at once. The decision of "to intravene or not" is a hard call to make. The last 6 eggs were all much larger & lower in the clutch than the first 5 & the smallest most shrivelled out egg on top was the first guy out so they must have been slightly staggered in their development stages. The heat source was above so the top eggs would have been slightly warmer also. Anyhow enough babbling & heres a couple pics of "Tuesday" my first ever Pyhton produced. WOO HOO Mark I. :D

Well folks after typing this post I had to look again, afterall it had been 5 hours since I last checked. 3/4 of the remainder all hatched out healthy, but I'm having serious doubts about #11. I'll check later tonight, but I don't think I'll be happy. 10/11 ain't bad for the first go anyhow. Fingers still crossed for #11 but I'm 99% sure I goofed by not assisting it DOH! It was at least 75 hours between the first & last hatched, what a wait! Mark I.
P.S. The weird thing is that I only prepared 10 spots for them on Tuesday, did I Hex the poor little one? :confused:

The story behind #11 in case anyones into details is the poor little one had made a small pip & then pulled itself (its head that is) back into its coils where it became "lost". The poor little one had its mouth wide open & was locked in a "deathgrip" on one of its own coils trying to push it's head back up. I have a feeling that I'm somewhat responsible, probably scaring the little one back "in" causing its grief. I say this because talking to another friend/breeder he has had similar experiences where he has seen babies with their heads out completley when he looked & then they were scared back "in" & for him to check later & find them "drowned" back in their eggs. Something to think about while checking for hatchlings anyway. Mark I. :(

That's awsome about the first ten! It is a good feeling to hatch out a clutch. Especailly with such good results. I wouldn't let the last one bother you though (easy for me to say) sometimes everything can not work out perfect. Congrads though Mark!

Im reconsidering the Irian Jaya and thinking of getting 2.2 of these or a spotty for a first time breeding project...Cant find a care sheet on Childrens cept for that one with the crappy green backround...Thanks for the info!
