I almost caught the big yawn... If only my fingers were as quick as Favelle's! :D

Two eggs are cracked right open and one more is slit just a bit...

I'm guessing by the time I wake up in the morning a bunch more will have pipped. Not a bad evening... I sat at home with some buddies, had a few drinks, BBQed some burgers, watched the Flames destroy Tampa and then came down to see all of this! :D

What a GREAT day for you brotha!!! Those eggs are soooo perfectly white its not even funny!

Cal Kings are cool. Always wanted to just set one up in a real cool desert-long display tank. I think that'd be so cool. They are sooo low maintenance.

:D

Thanks guys. :)

These eggs are/were picture perfect. Each one is snow white and perfectly shaped. Whenever I show people inside my incubator, they ask why all the other eggs look so "dirty"! lol

Here's a picture of the first one to come right out of it's egg...

That's my son, Tyger holding the little snake. His fingers are all orange because he woke up early and got into last night's chips! :D

Ketchup chip fingers. I had permanent damage as a kid. I think my tongue is still red from all the ketchup chips I ate! LOL!

Those pictures are so great - just love those little noses peeking out. Don't you like the 'no media' method of incubation too - so nice to be able to see what is going on so clearly.

Great photos and congratulations on the new baby cal kings - they look fantastic!
