Talking Here they come!

So, my first Stimson's python egg pipped today. Unfortunately, the little one fell out of the egg completely, as it was on the edge of the top of the clutch and Momma split when he cut through. This was at 3pm. He's breathing on his own, still attached to the yolk sack though. He was lashing his tail about and wrapped it around my finger! He's definitely a boy, as he everted his hemipenes when he was tail waving.
Hopefully he pulls through the night- I know it's rough on them when they come out of the egg too quickly, but he's hanging on.
There are also two other eggs that I pipped. They have babies in them moving about, so it's just a matter of time.

For those who didn't see my thread about the Stimsons' python breeding, this was my second breeding attempt. I used maternal incubation and had a total of 9 eggs, with 3 good ones surviving at end. Not a great turn-out: I am not thinking I will use maternal incubation next time, but it's all a learning process.

I want to thank everyone that offered me advice and encouragement, especially Julian and Aaron_S for their help with a maggot infestation I had on a few bad eggs, and Julian's continuing advice. Thank you guys, and I' crossing my fingers that all 3 little wormies make it out for me!
