 Pipping eggs

Well, I’ve got more cornsnake eggs pipping. I’m really anxious to see what they come out like because I’m not entirely sure who fathered them. I paired the mother up with 2 different males, so I can’t wait to see them! I’m like Hatchetman with his rough green snakes. Want to tell them to hurry up!!

On a side note, we are boarded up for yet another hurricane. I guess we were due, since it’s been so long since Charley and Wilma. What a nuisance, but better safe than sorry. Looking at the latest updates, I think we’re getting a direct hit sometime in the early morning hours here in Ft Myers.

Wow, I hope you make it through the hurricane okay. All’s we worry about around here is forest fires and earthquakes, but I’d take those any day over a hurricane! High winds scare the hell out of me! Looking forward to those baby pictures.

Well, we made it through the night. The storm ended up coming through as a tropical storm instead of hurricane. We are, however, running on generator power since the electricity has been off since 5am. The babies still aren’t out of the eggs.

greatballzofire, I’d rather have hurricanes than earthquakes. I like that we have warnings.

I m glad to hear you got through the night okay.
I’d maybe feel different about earthquakes if I lived in an urban center. When the Loma Prieta earthquake took down the freeway overpass in Oakland and sandwiched the cars, I was up in Truckee and still felt the earth move. I have always lived in rural settings, so the only thing that could fall on me would be a tree, or a very small building. The Katrina thing just gives me chills thinking of those poor folks waking up in the dead of night to water up to the second floor. I live on high ground, too. The only real danger I face is the potential for catastrophic forest fire. At least with that you get a warning; smoke! And the CDF spotter plane flying all around your neck of the woods.
