Heya All!!
I have actually been viewing and using this site as a source of information for a long time so thought it's about time I said 'Ello' to you great peepz!
I'm Russ, not sure what you want to know so will keep it corns!
Got 5 corns, well more but I'll get to that in a mo, not a total understander of the whole Morph thing as used to keep Kings, Royals and Garters up until 6 years back when I relocated and had to rehome them :(, I add they all went to GREAT homes and are still thriving *apart from the 1 garter anyway*
7 months back I was informed by a friend that her Niece had snakes she had to rehome, I was thinking of getting another so jumped at the chance, anyway, cut a long story short I got them, I say THEM as there are 5!! 2 5 year old adults and 3 yearlings!!
Mom is a 4'7 Carolina called 'Lilly', Dad is a 5' Snow called 'Allan' and the young ones are 2x Amels called 'Nathair' and 'Cody' - 'Cody = Cod Eye as he only has 1 fully formed eye bless him, I think there was an accident when he was tiny to cause it but no explanation to me, he is fine and happy though, and finally a 'Okeetee' *I think* called 'Darky'
I'll upload some pics later as just sorting out a photobucket account.
Anyways, the good news -for me anyway- is that Lilly layed a clutch of eggs back in October, I have had clutches in the past so know the drill and 1am this morning the first blighter pipped  then at 8:30 this morning a further 2 have also pipped, so got 3 tiny tiny heads peeking out into the world!! YAY! *The clutch is of 24-25 eggs, still looks like zero slugs so keeping everything crossed!!*
Will put more later, bit busy keeping an eye on these at the moment, but a BiG hello to you lot! |

Thankyou Herriotfan
Well, just watched the 4th hatchling *very slowly* cut it's egg! Awwww!
I currently just have a Jack Russell bitch called Mada but with what seems to be a reptile trend period I help a few friends out with their snake and beardie vivs as most have just gone and bought the gear without the research into it. Good feeling though knowing they are now in better surroundings. |

Thanks Mort13,
Oh yes, all the fun will start soon, looks like the freezer draw will be full of food from tomo, as long as the snow allows the car to get to the pet shop. I wasn't expecting them to even start hatching for another 1-2 weeks either!  At least I've got a week or so to get fully stocked up and prepare all their boxes |

Hope I do this right and don't get into trouble for putting pics on this thread, will only put a few just in case. I'll explain my viv set ups later on, the 4th pipper looks like a tiny amel.
That will do for now, will post more later on the pic page 
Hope it isn't pic heavy, think I resized ok, will see in a mo  |

So as not to overdo pics *I have gone a bit wild* just a few little update pics. So far 6 heads out and 2 slit, might be a long evening as still about 15+ *can't count the remainder of the clump* to go. A few of the eggs are huge compared to others?! They haven't slit yet though.
All looks well though! YAY! Anyway, a few more pics :
     
Hope I'm not overdoing with the pics, will veer towards the other threads soon as have said my 'Hello'  |

Last one for here, the first Pippa has come to say hello just over 17.5 hours later.
