Since I'm at work right now, and don't have any pictures from my GOOD camera yet (only the cell phone pic), pictures will be updated in the morning.
(Hey, if I have to wait, so do you! :p )
My fiance texted me these pictures recently, as his "checkitis" is worse than mine. Lol

For corns? 82*-84*. A bit higher than that, and you start to notice incubation related deformities, or more dead eggs than you want.

There were two slits that it had made in the egg. After about 8 hours, I cut a window, and poked the baby with a pencil eraser. There was absolutely no movement or response to the stimulus. I cut the remainder of the egg, and poked again. No response. When I pulled it out, it was absolutely lifeless, like it had drowned in the fluids while trying to cut it's way out. :(
There's a total of 11. 3 are still poking their heads out only, and one has yet to even pip. There's some pics of 4 more coming now!

As for buying the fleur de lis, i wish i could. I love the way corn snakes look but theyre a little flighty for me. And light. Holy cow theyre like featherweights compared to royals! Once i get my own place ill be sure to consult you for babies though. These guys are marvelous!

I haven't just yet. I'm waiting until their first sheds so we have a better idea on the colors. Given that there's two in this clutch that I believe are "firsts", Don is definitely going to be one of my verifying sets of eyes. I'm on a cornsnake forum (cornsnakes.com), and nobody has stepped forward to refute them as of yet, but that doesn't mean that I trust myself. Lol. If anything, I think I might have switched up the labels (the brighter one being the Hypo Ultra, and the not quite as bright one being the Hypo Sunkissed Ultra) due to Sunkissed's proclivity to enhance and augment yellows.
