Well thank you all for your help and guidance. After years of researching and prepping my female I have successfully hatched my first clutch! I woke up to these beauties this morning. ♡. Mom is a sunglow motley, dad is a snow motley.

So now... I wait until their first shed to feed them correct?

My kids were so excited my son already claimed the snow for his snake and is going to name him "Christoff" since his dad's name is "Olaf"

Congrats!! Names are from Frozen, correct? (Both names are cute btw) I believe you wait until the first shed before feeding...
 
I would wait about a week after their first shed to feed them. Congratulations on the babies, they're very cute.
 
Omg they are so curled up in a little mass of snake ball... is it bad I just want to hold them all the time? ♡

In debating when to separate them. Post shed? Id kinda like to do it sooner so I can see exactly who sheds when... how soon will they shed?

Omg I can't wait till next year to do it all over again ♡
 
I prefer to separate them right away. But I don't think there's any harm in keeping them together until their first shed.
 
Oh and I just have to pat myself on the back I know so much can go wrong and for my first time I'm petty darn proud of my success. :)
 
I have a sticky about hatchlings down in my personal forum, here.

I separate right away, and then don't feed till two weeks after the shed.
AND I take pics right away, and then don't bother them and ESPECIALLY
don't sex them till after three feeds. For the first feed, you want them to have shed,
used up all their yolk, and be actively and unrelentingly patrolling their bins,
looking for food, before you do that first feeding.

I know with your first clutch it's impossible to have that much restraint.
I must have had Number One out a million times the first few weeks.
But it's WAY easier to bother them less now than to have to deal with non-feeders.
 
Do you have any links with good instructions on popping? I know you reccomend waiting till about 3 good feeds. I've seen it done and tried once with the breeders assistance at repticon but am still not confident in my results.
