Another egg has pipped!!! It very graciously waited for me to return home from my break. No sign of anything when I checked at 4pm-ish, but a hole present by the time I checked before bed. Whoop Whoop!!! My sister will be so relieved it didn't happen while she was left in charge lol.

Wonderful news. Hopefully there'll be news of another little hatchling tomorrow.

Brilliant Jackie I'm so pleased for you. I hope you are more patient than I am Right now I'm having kittens because the third egg has pipped!!!!! Egg two has a leg sticking out and egg three has a face sticking out . Egg three looked really cloudy and yucky when candled so I'm amazed the hatchling is alive!

First egg from the second clutch of four now pipping! I'm excited but nervous. One of the hatchlings from the first clutch has a deformity. It is still alive and ok but I know that it wouldn't have survived in the wild. The head is very big and the shell is missing all of the front scutes leaving only 3 vertebral scutes. The head is permanently held to one side and cannot retract. That said, he/she can walk and is holding it's own with the other two. I will post pics soon. Meanwhile, back to 'Hatchwatch'.......
