My long awaited babies. *photos*

[marisa]

Well on Saturday after 87 days they FINALLY started pipping. By now we have 11 out and about, 4 with heads pipping and another 4 eggs that have not pipped although it was five but the fifth pipped an hour or so ago. :D

All are as expected, and cute!

wow, they all look amazine..so tiny..congratulations, you should have a baby shower (free stuff :D)

[marisa]

HAHA thanks peoples!

Jeff: Basically they just sat on a warm shelf in my snake room. Temps varied (more than I wanted them too at first!) from 70-85 for two months, and basically between 78-83 the last weeks.

Congrats Marisa - nice group of babies after such a long wait. Nice to have them out of the eggs and they look lovely. Are you keeping any (besides your single egg from the next clutch)?

Congrats... I love them when they are that little. I myself just had my first clutch hatch out and they just went throught there first shed.

[lordkovacs]

good job... they look so tiny... wow. nice.

[marisa]

Thanks everyone! I am certainly loving these little dudes and can't wait for the shed. I still have a couple pipping and three eggs that look good, but haven't pipped. I am not pipping them myself though. If they don't hatch, hey wasn't meant to be. But anyways!!!

Mary - No I won't be keeping any back. Mom and Dad are enough snow for me right now and yeah since my whole household wants me to keep that little double clutch egg, I think that will be my keeper. LOL. :)

WOW! I guess this goes to show just how forgving corn snakes can be, even before they are born. :) I'm happy for you Marisa. Congrats on the new arrivals!

[marisa]

haha oh yeah. Basically everyone I have ever talked to told me corn eggs can be hatched by a 6 year old. And they will hatch (if fertile) through many many conditions. So I wasn't too worried about the temp fluctuations. lol :)

thanks!

[snkmn]

wow! very cute snakes! i am surprised it took that long for them to hatch. great snkaes good luck with them:)

[Andy_G]

Awesome babies!

Corn eggs can be incubated at room temp without additional heat , as long as its 72 degrees or over they will hatch, but it takes 70-90 days depending on temp fluctuations and such.

[Invictus]

This is dramatically increasing my confidence in getting into corn breeding. :)

They're looking great marissa!

[Simon]
