Hogs a week early

Came home to find these guys all out of their shells. Nice Suprise!!

They are so cute! Congrats. I wish I didn't have to go through state permitting to have them here. That restriction seems so antiquated with them being captive bred in great numbers.

Nice! I have three hog clutches incubating currently. Curious, what day of incubation did they hatch on?

They hatched on about day 53 at around 82.

Awesome. I'm thinking around day 55ish for mine, also around 81-82 degrees. They're currently on day 38, 37, and 25.

Those babies have beautiful reds. Love it and congrats!

So adorable!!

I raised hognose for several years and mine hatched at 55 days like clockwork at 81-82 degrees. The funny thing was that I hatched 3 or 4 eggs that contained twins, and usually they were het for pink pastels. One egg had a pink pastel and a het but the pink failed to survive. The eggs with twins took longer to hatch by a few days. Although I've raised a variety of colubrids, and a lot of hoggies, I never hatched twins except in the pink pastel line.

Babies! What morphs are you expecting this year, John? I'm looking to get a pair of hogs maybe this year, and I'm trying to decide what kind of project to invest in, since some mutants are quite high in price. There's a pair of het corals I'm eyeballing for a hell of a good price, but I'm sure they'll be gone before I can reasonably afford to buy them.

Really cute hoggies

Nothing cuter than hatchling hoggies!
