I have pippies. I think my eggs have been sneaking in and taking a peek at this thread and didn't want to be the last to hatch. I've only been hatching since September of this year, but EVERY single hatch has pipped and hatched on day 20, not day 19.

Oh, Australia...Hello, ***smacks forehead*** I just realized you're from the Land of Oz or, the way I see it, The Land of Exceptional Animals. I'll send you a dozen llamas in return for a shiglebacked skink, a thorny devil, a Gallah cockatoo, a black cockatoo, etc. Ya'll have the most wonderful wildlife, not to mention the most # of venomous snakes in THE world. Australia is most herpers' DREAM vacation.....including this one.

I go to an animal auction once a month and there's always between 1 and 4 llamas and none ever go for more than $100, that is if they sell at all. Even the ponies are selling for paltry amounts of money. I have a friend who has been given 4 horses this year....3 of them nice riding horses and one that has never been broke to ride. I expected them to be killers, unridable or something and had to witness the 3 he said were nice being ridden for myself.

No worries, I just reached right in and took 'em, peeled them off and she didn't do a thing. I'm more afraid of reaching under my hens than a snake this small. The hens nearly draw blood!

It's a ball python, or royal python as they call it in the U.K.

Those eggs were from a few years ago and all 10 hatched and I kept all the female babies which are big enough to breed this year. If I get eggs, they'll be laid in April or May, 2012. It takes 55-60 days for python eggs to hatch.

That is fantastic. I can hardly wait to see the pictures.
I have a dismal hatch rate on shipped eggs, but I'm gonna keep on trying, my auction Barbain silkie eggs are at the P.O. right now and I gotta go get 'em.
Oh and when I had my humidity that high I was getting a lot of chicks that pipped and then died in shell out of every hatch. I did research on here and I'm now doing the dry hatch method and my lockdown humidity is 60% so hopefully I won't have as many die after they pip. It's really discouraging to get a chick all the way to hatch and have it die.

It sure has and today is looking like it's gonna be a nice, warm one. Feels so much like spring that I have to remind myself it's almost January!

I think I'm there with you girls.
Add me to this fine mix of hatchers. Three incubators and 3 different sets of chicks with the NYD chicks pipped and more eggs already in the bators and more going in the bator tomorrow or Sunday.
