I try not to be a cutter....but it never seems to work out for me LOL

I almost always make it til the first one pips LOL

My first Clutch ever i cut. Impatience got the best of me! Ill gladly do it again, though i might let them pip first before i do this go around.

With the Retics I wait for a pip to Clip..You guys?

I use to wait for a pip but I don't anymore - Just ain't got the patience...I usually wait till day 49 but I have snipped as early as day 40 something...:D...Badass pics of the Retics in the eggs Harry...

Thanks bro! I tell ya it scare me to cut early with the Retics because they are so weird to breed. So much left to do in the captive breeding of this species but I figure my wife and myself have maybe 40 years or so left to figure it out LOL

When I get these Super Dwarfs bred you and Larry are gonna be on the list for some ;)

Dude - I've been dying to get my hot little hands on some Super Dwarfs...Put me down for a 2.2...

This year will be my first year with eggs and I dunno if I have the juevos to cut em. I dont want to slice my first hatchlings because every one counts for me in the first year.

I have been dying for a lavender retic but think i can handle the giants... I would LOVE to get me some super dwarfs though. wink wink:)

I was like that too my time cutting. After a couple clutches I felt pretty relaxed..almost too relaxed..lol

Yes, and I had a very nice surprise this year.

Really depends on what your comfortable doing...The majority of the people I know who cut - Cut at day 50 - 52 with their eggs cooking at 89F...I usually cut at day 49 but have gone as early as day 45...Just don't butchers them and don't mess with them too much after you cut them and see what's inside...

I wait until the first one has piped on its own, then I cut the rest.

ok thanks guys. im keeping them between 89.2 and 89.8 so i might wait till day 50. i just cant wait. i think them baby spiders look so neat. anyway ill let you all know what i get out of this five egg clutch

I'm a cutter. First clutch ever, and it was a secret to me (Pastel female X Lesser, Spider, Cinny, and Pastel Males)... So I had the itch on day 55 to cut, I did small windows, and a few days later hacked them open a bit further...:D

The first egg I happened to cut was my female pewter. First clutch, first morph...a combo!

Nice photos of snakes still in the egg. I just started cutting this past year. I think I am getting a better hatch rate.

Love that Pewter Jason...

I cut all my eggs this year at day 52 or 53. Im going to start cutting at 55. The ones I cut this year stayed in the eggs for a few days. The eggs started to get a bit funky before they came all the way out. All hatched fine 100% healthy and all. But going to wait a few more days next year.

Love that Pewter Jason...
Thanks BT! My post should say "itch on day 50 to cut.." They were all out by day 55.

And I'll likely cut any clutches this year too.

I cut after the first one pips. Other wise how would you get to see a sight like this one.

Holy Sweet Jesus Albey...

Yes he is a Silver Bullet. That picture was taken on 3/30/08. The one below was taken on 9/6/08. As you can see the only way you can tell an older Silver Bullet from a Super Cinny is the Silver highlights on the sides down to the belly. If all goes well he will be a Father before he is a year old. LOL

every one has very nice pictures

Thank you Albey. Best of luck and hope he is a father for you this season.

Day 54 they gettin' cut.

Cool snake Albey. I have seen that the silver bullets turn dark like that. It is crazy that they go through that change.

Brock Hell yea
