I'm at the same stage as you.
They're just living the life in their eggs.
They could be bothered with me one bit.
Can't wait to see them out and cruising around.

Cool , I'm not sure why mine have taken so long , all my other clutchs of jungles etc have hatched on time in the same battor..
Hope they have started tonight when I get home from work

They STILL haven't hatched *dies of waiting* , think I am on day 91 or 92? I have given up adding up days now... lol

 

[Scleropages]

Ok , Ironically I had major drammers with the scrubs , they still hadn't piped or anything on day 94 so I piped the eggs ( as I have done with over 40 clutchs of pythons before) , a day or so latter they had started to die , opening a few of the dead eggs up showed fully formed scrubbys but the yoke was all over the place and not firm.

After another few days to see if any would come out (none did) I removed the 7 "alive" ones carefully from the eggs and placed them in a humid warm tub , none had absorbed the yoke and most of the yoke was breaking down - I am aware most people would of just froze the baby's or put them out of there misery.

Well I babied the hell out of them and have managed to keep 5 alive , I have cleaned up the umbilical cord and am waiting on them to have their first shed and will get them eating , apart from being very skinny they are acting like baby snakes should , tongue flickering and exploring at night.

I am not sure what has happened , my house was struck by lightening a month into incubation so I am not sure if that had anything to do with it , wile the scrubs where in the incubator I hatched out 15 other clutches of python eggs , none with this prob but a few "weird" hatchys.

I am going to keep the 5 hatches as they are not sutible for selling / re homing.


Oh the fun of breeding snakes

 

[Vincey]

heh maybe she will just lay one huge egg! , lol

Godzilla ;p in snake form.

And they may not be sellable as of yet but they might turn into quite normal great little snakes as they mature

I am sure they will , they all seem very non bitey , and I have alot of experience with keeping hatches alive than haven't absorbed their yoke.
whats another 5 scrubs , lol

 

[cwebb]

[Vincey]
