Elemental Exotic's most anticipated pairing!

Some more egg pictures. These four seem to be doing very well.

But I'm a little concerned about the other two, this one is one of the super long ones, it is a very heavy egg. It has sunken in in the middle but it has good veins that seem to be growing still.

Then this other one is a bit sunken in too and has been turning colors. But it also has good veins at the moment.

They will likely hatch sometime between June 6th - June 15th, so quite a long wait still!
 
Congratulations on the eggs! My 8 year old daughter loved the pictures. Second to her Okeetee, she says that these are her next favorite snake, and then said she would going to get one and breed it to hers. :-O She's young, so I'll convince her of a better plan at some point!
 
Odd question, but the "long" egg made me think: can snakes eggs hatch into twins or triplets?
 
I don't think the size or shape of an egg tells you too much about what is in there, but yes, twins happen every now and then. Even sometimes triplets. I can't remember now but I saw on FB this year that there was an egg with quads in it, either ball pythons or maybe retics, or it's possible it was both. I'd never heard of anyone hatching four babies out of one egg before that.
 
Well, the super long egg has puffed back up! And the littlest egg is looking less sunken in too.
 
Unfortunately, I think that the littlest egg is going bad, it had been looking better but is now even worse. I'll still keep it incubating until I'm completely sure that it is completely dead though.
 
Well, Serenity just refused to eat the last time I offered and has started looking gravid again. So hopefully we will have a few more eggs in the near future!
 
Oh, I hope you do get more eggs, and thanks for the answer. I saw on someone's website (Don's?) that they hatched a 2-headed baby last year and got twins this year. I was hoping that maybe that extra long egg is twins!
 
I'm very interested to see how they compare size wise to the hatchling corn snakes. The snout already looks bigger on this one.
 
Here is the first coxi out! Weighs 11 grams and thankfully seems to have inherited Atari's temperament rather than Serenity's, for the moment at least. That makes it almost twice as big as the corn hatchlings, who so far have been weighing 6 or 7 grams.

And one more coxi egg has pipped this morning.

A second egg has just pipped. Only one more egg left to go. Can't wait to see if or how many cross bars the other babies will have!
