And my last clutch this year............Lil's babies are hatching! Last night I could see anery noses and 2 pink ones. This morning there are 4 aneries out and a ghost. One of the aneries has fully split belly checks.
So I can add hypo and masque to Lil's hets!

Viper is awesome. It seems as if the head/jaw is a little wider than usual. Is that what made you go that route with the name? She looks like she can hold her own, haha. The look alone gives her attitude!
 
15 out of 15 hatched from Lil, aneries, ghosts and snows, some with completely split belly checkers showing a strong hint of masque.
In all, only one egg lost during incubation, no kinks at all this year. The new thermostat and heatcable in the incubator has really paid off. I also went for sealed incubation tubs, no airholes, started off the vermiculite slightly drier than usual and kept a spray bottle in the incubator to spritz the eggs and vermiculite if they looked too dry. No airholes meant no flies on the eggs.
35 babies sold so far. I'm not sure but I think there are 5 or 6 non-feeders. Every other hatchling has ate without any trouble. Thankfully none of Faith's clutch are refusers.
The non-feeders still look good. I won't force or syring feed them. If they don't eat and start to lose condition they will go off to be baby king cobra food. So far I've only tried boiled pinks on them. Now I'll try dish-soap on the pinks next time.
 
Only Lil's clutch and a few late starters in feeding left to sell! I've got my keepers from Faith's clutch all doing well. In all I'm well into profit for the yearly food bill. Not enough to go mad with but a good feeling all the same.
