Cool First leopard egg ever has piped

Hellllllllo everyone. I've just come in from work and stuck my head in the incubator like I do when I get back and my first fertlie leopard egg has piped. Quite scary really has this egg developed a lot faster than the other ones so fingers crossed all should be well in a few days. Will get some pictures but trust there to be dead batterys in the camera now !!! Will keep you posted as I'm so excited like a little kid.

thanks Chris ,i looked at the picture and its a great looking hatchling.i dont suppose you weighed the eggs when first laid or weighed the hatchling.its just im curious about their development in the egg and how temperature and time effects the hatchlings sizes and of course the egg size.my younger females eggs have been larger this year so i am going to hatch a couple just to compare hatchling sizes and to see if they take longer to incubate than last years.
