Finally! We’ve got pippies! We’ve been waiting impatiently, and I’m sure you have too! This first clutch was laid April 28th and began to pip on the 1st of July! Four Pastels and three Normals appear to be what we’ve got from the first clutch for 2009. Four are out and all popped male, but we have hopes that the remaining three turn out to be girls.

We have a second clutch of eight Pastel x Normal eggs that should pip any day now. The four females that were paired with our Mojave and Spider males have not laid and we don’t expect them to at this point. Their is always next year though. It’s disappointing, but we keep our hopes up.

Cornsnakes should begin hatching by the end of this month. So if Corns are your particular flavor of reptile poison, check back in a few weeks! We’ll have lots of Stripes and some by-product hatchlings available! In particular we’re expecting Ghost Stripes, Snow Stripes, Diffusion Stripes, Granite Stripes, Diffusions, Granites, Normals, Charcoals, Lavas and Charcoal Lavas. Charcoal Lavas and Lavas will probably not be for sale, so don’t get your hopes up on them!
