Last night my ultramel anery het stripe x opal het hypo stripe clutch started to pip  Unfortunately we could see that a baby had tried to slit through the egg and failed, so we cut it to try and help but it was too late  a tiny, perfectly striped amel was inside. Hopefully its siblings will keep me busy over the next few days though to keep my mind off it 
Only a couple of pics for now, but I promise there'll be more later!
Amel noses
Ultramel face
And then here's a couple from the last clutch, a little normal that I'm planning on keepingm should shed tonight
And a stupidly bright amel, I dread to think how bright it's gonna be once it's shed!

Thanks all! Thank you for the advice, IF the shells were all super soft already, I think it was just bad luck with the lost baby with the heavily dimpled egg etc, however I will know for next time to keep an eye on any heavily dimpled eggies, there was one other very dimpled one which we snipped yesterday just to be on the safe side but it made its own little slit anyway, ungrateful little thing 
MORE PICS!!

Beautiful little noses and some lovely hatchlings. :) So sorry for your little stripe not making it. Just wanted to suggest that with your next breeding, try to calculate when the eggs will be hatching. Then during that week, take a damp paper towel (wring all water out so it isn't dripping, just moist) and just lay it loosely over the eggs. This will soften them up quite a bit and make it much easier for the hatchlings to cut the egg with their adorable little egg tooth. ;) I do this with all of mine and haven't ever had a problem with them getting out of the egg. Best of luck with those still waiting to emerge. Can't wait for more pics! |

Thanks guys I promise I'll have better pics later on this evening, hopefully a baby or two will have emerged! Keeping my fingers firmly crossed for an ultramel stripe or two
I think the little one struggled because the underside had dimpled so much that it had basically caved in and upwards, therefore pushing the baby up to the top of the egg, not giving it a lot of space to move. Just really wish I'd got there a bit sooner, I was concerned about it before, so I really should have cut it sooner it's happened now though so not much I can do about it, was such a pretty little thing, must have only been about 3 grams. |
