thanks for the info. I have learned to leave em be and let nature do its thing already tho. When I was a kid, I got impatient with a chicken egg. I could hear it chirping, so I helped it out of its egg. oops! it had not absorbed its yolk, and I killed it. I was about 9yrs old or younger, felt awful. But I learned not to rush a good thing. I have been educating myself alot over the net on how to be a good mother to my snakes, and it is pretty easy getting mixed info. So far for getting any helpful info, I had the best experience here. Everyone has learned from trial and error and seems to know the ins and out to everything, it is awsome here!!
Good luck with ur babies, and I am going to keep watching. Can you see any of the eggs starting to move or wave??
