Our babies are hatching

[Nik]

After 63 days of maternal incubation we came home tonight to find this.

Mum is off the eggs now while we wait for the babies to emerge, we have one very small het out, one albino out and two albino's with just their heads out of the eggs.

Mum looks awesome after all her hard work and we've finally been able to count all the eggs, 13 in total with one looking a bit dodgy.

I can't wait to see what we get.

Congratulations, I'm thinking of trying the maternal incubation next season. I'm surprised at the hatch time as it is not all that much longer than doing them in a incubator.

Great stuff! I love the contrast between the mother and baby heads in your photo. I hope they all do well for you.
