Eggs are pipping =)

I checked on my incubator around 1 o'clock yesterday and noticed a little head peeking out of one of the eggs. I couldn't take any real quality pics because my digital camera is dead. I did, however, snap a few tiny pics with a webcam just so that I'd have something to mark the occasion.

Egg number 2 started slitting late last night/early this morning and the first egg pipped was deflated when I checked on it this afternoon. I assumed that it had simply slunk back into the egg as it had been doing all day yesterday. I started to get worried after I never saw the first snake peak out again and didn't see any hatchling wandering around in the container so I put my light up to the shell. Empty! I looked all through the substrate and around and even under the other eggs. Nothing! Somehow it managed to get out of the incubator altogether because I found it under some cardboard laying under the incubator. It is now secure in its own little pencil box.

Egg number 2 pipped and it definitely looked like a little snow in there. I spooked it, though, and it retreated to its shell. I left it alone for quite a while. I just checked on the incubator again about half an hour ago to get some pics of the eggs and hatchlings since a friend was kind enough to let me borrow her camera. I thought something looked a little off with egg number 2 so I got a little closer and saw not one but TWO little noses in there! TWINS!! Awesome!! I can't wait to see how tiny these snows will be!

10 more eggs to go! I'll write more when more happens.

I just snapped a couple more pics and saw egg #3 has slit with a little amel head peeking out. :) Just click on them to enlarge.




 
Oooh I see twins, yay! :D

Keep us posted on their progress, but don't disturb them too much so they don't exit their egg too soon, they need to absorb their yolk sack first ;)

Good luck and best wishes,
 
This is my first time with snake eggs, period, so getting twins in the clutch was just awesome! I'm going to have to go out and buy an extra container (or more if there are other twins in there) to accommodate unplanned babies. ;)
 
Oh cool are they real twins or a 2 headed snake hope they are alive and well!? cant wait to see more pics of them!
 
Thankfully a friend is letting me borrow her camera or I'd be SOL on pics.

I checked on the incubator earlier today and saw a few more eggs pipping with what I think are more snows hiding inside. I haven't had a chance to get more pics today because of a mishap with my 3 year old and my brand new furniture....


I'll get some more pics of the hatchlings and their still pipping siblings up when I can. :)
 
Looks like you have a set of twins on your hands by the look of that last picture. Good luck with the rest and congradulations on the pipping
 
wow they look cool, how many days before they started pipping then I have some eggs in the incubator and cant wait for them to start hatching but I am not very patient.
 
I wonder if one of those twins could be pipping through from the egg beneath too, I had one do that from my one and only clutch, cause the egg was completely surrounded by other eggs.
 
I was beginning to wonder if it could have been a neighboring hatchling joining its sibling before hatching out together, but I've got 12 babies so far with one egg left to hatch in the incubator so one of my eggs had to have had more than one snake in it.

So far I've got 7 albinos and 5 snows. The last egg is keeping me in suspense. I saw movement when I candled it with my little LED flashlight so I'm hopeful that it's okay and just taking its sweet time to hatch.
 
Scratch that.. Again.. Sorry.

I was counting bins by color last night without realizing that I had run out of blue containers the night before. I had the numbers right the first time and my last egg finally pipped this morning so that brings my total to 8 amels and 5 snows.
