We've got Pippies!! :)

[Virago]

Well this morning, I checked on a clutch and we've got one hatchling half way out and 7 more eggs starting to pip. Guess when I get home from work, I should have a whole family. these eggs went 61 days @ 84 degrees. Another clutch hits 60 days on Monday so I could see some of them this weekend....................and so it begins.

thanks everyone,

Final count, out of 19 eggs.......20 hatchlings

all hatchlings emerged from eggs but2 of them were stuck together by their tails and were dead when I opened the incubator, and 1 more was dead when I opened it ???? not sure why, they were all in the same place. Guess some make it and some don't.

One thing I did notice was that some of them were still connected to their egg by their umbilical cord. I didn't remove them until morning and by then they had come unattached. Don't they come out still attached when under stress?? Guess knowing these things comes with experience.

This pairing was a male from a friend of mine who is a 10 year old amel with unknown hets. And a female amel with unknown hets that I've had since she was a hatchling.

This is what we got-

10 amels
10 Snows

So they were both het for anery pretty neat as I wasn't expecting any snows ever really!! the three that died were amels so we have 10 snows and 10 amels.

Good start to the season.......
