Re: First of the clutch pipped and out!!!!!!!!!!!!!

and it is the smaller eggs pipping first, which I thought rather backwards.

the BIG ones with huge "windows" haven't pipped yet, and the smaller, more opaque ones have!!

Re: First of the clutch pipped and out!!!!!!!!!!!!!

yup, the one I cut is still in it's egg, but today popped it's whole head out, so I think it will exit soon. I still think that one will be a snow.

I was mistaken on the other, where I could only see the very tip of the nose, he came wandering out of his egg late last night and proved to be an amel, then when I "just now" checked another was completely out of his egg and is another Amel.

So out of egg I have 1 snow and 2 Amels, pipped but in egg I have 1 I beleive is a snow, and 6 eggs still not pipped at all, so we'll have to see.

I have pics of the 3 out of egg which I will post for you guys after I eat!! I am starving!!

So happy to hear they are pipping and can't wait to see photos.


It was weird the way the snow pipped days ago. Oh well, nature never goes by the book!

Re: First of the clutch pipped and out!!!!!!!!!!!!!

thx!!

just went to get the last empty egg out of the incubator and another has pipped. the egg is slit but no nose or head sticking out, so no clue as to morph yet.

Looks like today will be an active day for pipping!! 5 more to go!!

Nice looking hatchlings!

Theoretically you should get half and half snows but you never know.

Re: First of the clutch pipped and out!!!!!!!!!!!!!

well the one I cut has finally left the shell and is definately a snow, so the official count is...

2 Snows
2 Amels
6 unknown

funny that the one who's shell I cut is the only one who has tail rattled and struck (when I transferred him into his own tub!! (I wonder if cutting the egg pees them off???LOL)

Joanna: yeah, I did the math and it should be 50% Amel (het Anery) and 50% Snows, but then again 17 eggs were laid and only 10 made it to hatching time, so who knows what I'll actually end up with!!

Hubby asked if the uber huge eggs will hold twins, I told him it's possible, but big eggs doesn't neccesarily mean twins.


PS (Joanna) when do I pop them????

Pop them when you want too!

Some leave them alone until after their first shed and they have eaten their first meal because they don't want to spook them. I can never wait and do it right away. I can't say I have noticed a difference in eating, some do some don't!
