#2270538 Edf View Profile	Cinny clutch results Well, i cut on day 53 for a few reasons. I believe I got 4 cinnies, and 2 normals ( one cinny egg tho can be questionable-i am seeing the snake from bottom up so if its a flamed normal, could fool me. However- the 2 normals- from what little i can see- look to be reduced patterned. Hope they got moms pattern! Dont know if mom is a chocolate- she was speculated as maybe being a lower grade chocolate- i see simularities- but only really though of the possibilities when pairng- the guy i got her from did say she was a chocolate- however, i didnt think much on it. I am banking on her just being a nice brown backed normal. will get better pics once they come out. :D

#2270599 Zhimonster View Profile	Message To: Edf   In reference to Message Id: 2270538  Cinny clutch results ooooooo I want something other than a normal so bad. No one in town sells anything but normals. Question though.. Is there a reason for cutting the eggs other than just seeing what you have? Im just asking because I hear of so many breeders doing it. Does it help them get out on there own as well?

#2270628 Edf View Profile	Message To: Xkabx   In reference to Message Id: 2270625  Cinny clutch results You are all part right- if a snake can’t cut the egg itself- it will drown. They arent very smart- i heard stories of the snake cut the egg with the egg tooth, but then went back in, and didnt find its way back out and died. I had the snakes poke tons of slits in their egg just because they coud, and therefore did. I cut for that- and to see what I got. you can wait for the first one to pip if you want, or not cut at all. I know of peopel who do both ways. I am a cutter tho- too impatient. I just dont cut too soon. I wait til around 55 days. Did sooner this time. I know of people who cut at day 45, but i feel that could risk too much. They will be in the eggs for aprox a weekish. Some may immerge sooner- and if they bother their cagemates, they may come out sooner. However, once you cut- dont bother them too much- if they come out too soon- they may have their yolk sac still on- its not the end of the world if they do- but they could tear their skin a little. As my babies come out of the egg- i set them in the baby rack. Now, i sometimes buddy them up or put them all in one tub up until they shed ( usually i dont= but i was lait on getting baby tubs so some were doubled up. Thanks guys; I cant wait til they come out!!
