Yeahh, I hope so.. or tonight haha.

My partner seems to have a knack for predicting all things snake-related.
Like last year I'd been waiting for Espher to lay, and one night he said they'll be here in the morning, and they were!
Then when I was waiting for them to hatch, we were watching a DVD and he paused it and told me to go check the eggs, sure enough one of them had pipped.

I don't believe in supernatural whatso ever, but it was a freaky coincidence!
since then we've joked that he's a snake whisperer (shame he isn't more interested in them though lol) and he keeps saying they'll hatch on sunday.

It's going to be freaky if they do!

They will probably hatch when you have lost hope lol. I recall going a week or two past the 60 day mark and the night before they hatched I though, I will through them out tomorrow, next day I peeked, there were so many cute little faces looking up at me! Waited a week after the babies hatched for the remaning eggs which were slugs to hatch XD



A very special super, duper thanks for K :3

Nope not yet..
Still all dented in apart from the biig one.
Top one is really dented, and it has like a hard yellow dent near the end of it.. Hard to explain but it looks pretty weird.. Might try get a pic.
Think its just an imperfection, but I tend to worry about everything lol.

The top two have been dented for ten days now.. Feels like they're never gonna hatch :(

sounds like it should be any day now. my 2 haven't dented at all but the the 16 from her 1st clutch didn't dent in at all before they hatched. hopefully you should get some pipping in the next few days

okay so still nothing, but I opened the container today and noticed a distinct smell coming from the eggs.
It doesn't smell rotten or bad, just different.
I wondered if it was because the substrate has been damp for 61 days, but I did a little search on google and found a post on Yahoo saying that it is a clue to them hatching.

Can't say I've ever heard of this before, but here is the link

It says they smell grassy or like green peppers haha. Not sure what a green pepper smells like to be honest...
But my eggs definately smell now.

Good luck. My female layed eggs Thursday last week and its her first. It was a bit unexpected as I was told both albino corns were female and now it turns out they are not lol. She's only 18 moths old and both snake and eggs are doing great. Just hoping they survive because of her age. But all 4 eggs are in good condition

Oo congrats :)
its very exciting isnt it!

Bad news though, my boyfriend just split up with me. After 3 years of living together I have moved back into my mum and dad house tonight. meaning I had to transport my eggs in the car :(:(
It was only a 3 or 4 minute drive, but still enough to make me worry like mad.

I miss my ex (feels weird calling him that..) but I miss my dog more. technially it is his.. but she is only a year old, and we had her from 3 month, so she was my baby really... now i may never see her again.
feels like the end of the world and my eggs are no longer my priority, though it would be nice if they would hatch.

Dont want sympathy, just thought id update, cos im not sure if the eggs will survive.

Ohh no sorry to hear that, on the egg side tbh at such a late point an due hatching the fact they pretty much will me snakes now an just absorbing stuff in ready to hatch your journey shouldn't have any effect on them. X

Cheers. I was in a state last night about my break up, but the more I thought about it the more I've realised I care more about the dog than him.
So I'm not gonna go back to him even if he changes his mind.
Just wish I could have the dog! lol.

Still pretty upset, but you power through dont you...

Still no hatchlings though >:(
wish they'd just hatch, it'd take my mind of stuff.

(Sorry to vent about it lol)
