Yay for pippies!
Just like clockwork! Exactly 24 hours after pipping, it left the egg! I was going to leave it in the incubator, but it's not really secure in there and I didn't want an escapee. So I took it out a little while later, but here is my very first hatchling! Pretty sure it's just an Amel, but still! 2 more are pipping at the moment and a few of the eggs look kinda bad, but we'll see!

I had such a hard time not peeking constantly at my pipping eggs. And whenever I would indulge myself and peek, then the noses would hide back in their eggs.
Very cute baby, looks like it has nice borders. It's not kinked, is it? The position it's in kind of makes it look like it has some bumps.

I don't think it's kinked, I think it's just the position it's in, it was all tensed up when I went in to take the picture. I'll check in a couple days to make sure. I'm slightly concerned though, the back half of it looks like an earthworm kinda. There's parts where you can see through and there's a big black mass showing through. Hopefully it's nothing major though
With the amel based snakes, you can usually see their organs right through their skin, which is probably the black you're seeing.
Can you see this on Anery based also? Just curious because I can see it one the lightest of my 2 hatchlings along with darkness in it's skull around the backside of it's eyes.

The black spot is the gallbladder. As the color of the snake solidifies, it will become less visible. Sometimes on light snakes you can look at the belly and see the heart beating, and blood pumping.
What a little fatty! He looks like he has lists of yolk to absorb. The first thing I do, when removing them, is feel head to tail for kinks, and then check the belly to make sure the egg stem attachment is closed.
Hatchlings like to do that "crooked" thing instead of laying in a straight line- they always look kinked, especially if they are in the edge of the deli cup. So then I touch them to get them moving around and straightened out, and then they decide to leave, so it's hard to get good pics.
I'd expect the eggs to pip within 3-4 days of the first one. I'm not an egg-cutter; I've never "rescued" a viable hatchling. Other people do it. I can't advise you. More than three eggs in your first pic look good, though.
