My FIRST PIPPY EVER!!!!!!!!! Woohoo!!!!

That head pattern looks like an alien! How neat. Even if this was not the first ever, I think this is a keeper just for the head pattern.
 
Well, I only need one, female. There's a slight chance Buzztail (mom, aka Ballentine) is het anery. So if a granite female pops out- that would be excellent!

I think I can see the egg tooth in the close-up!!
 
Yay for you!

Ill never forget seeing my first babies in the incubator. I only hatched 2 from the clutch; a normal and an anery. I didnt even see them pip or hang out in the egg. I hadnt checked the eggs for a few days, so i found empty shells. I had to search for them. They found me and bit me without mercy. Jerks...

I see the egg tooth so I bet you do too! If this one pops male & you're not keeping it, I'm FIRST in line!
 
Congrats Nanci, was it worth the wait and stress?
This is going to be great practice for next year, maybe 50-100 eggs?

Congrats Nanci!!! Beautiful baby... I went out to check my eggs after looking at your post and found pippies!!!! Wasn't expecting them for a couple of weeks(only day 56). Also my first!
Good luck with the rest of your clutch.

Hey - what about me? Buzztail is my snake....
JK Betsy - I wasn't planning on keeping anything from this clutch with Nanci unless there is something outstanding in there that I just HAVE to have.
 
Oh I've been checking mine daily since Day 53!! Then I started in with twice a day at about Day 60. My other clutch has eggs that are denting- so I don't know if they are getting ready to hatch or finally going bad, and I checked them this morning, but not the Pepper/Buzztail eggs. What a surprise! There was no clue yesterday!!
 
Congratulations Nanci!!...You must be thrilled to see it's a Bloodred!. Best of luck with the rest of them and kudos on doing so well with the eggs!.

Ha ha ha! You have no idea how much stress I've been under!!! I am so THRILLED to see one little snakie you wouldn't believe it!!! I'm _never_ candling eggs again, Miss Look At My Beautiful Snake Fetus Video!! (Meant in an envious way!!)
 
I wasn't really worried about him only being het bloodred. I talked to Rich Hume about him. I was confident that if Pepper was the snake Rich hatched, he was homo blood. I was a _teensy_ bit worried, thanks to someone planting the thought in my head, that a snow stripe might have been substituted by the seller, who was not Rich. I've been worrying about that for a year and a half. Rich's blood stripe breeding group is all homo bloodreds.

SO- a pair of Pepper/Buzztail offspring will _only_ produce avalanches, not snows. (And bloodreds, fires and granites, 50% striped!)

Don't worry, I just want to be first in line after the owners! Nanci's very first hatchling HAS to stay in the cs.com family so I figured I'd make sure of that.
