What temps did you incubate at? Did you shoot for a particular sex or no?

No, I went middle of the road at 85f.

Do you think anymore will hatch? I hope so. I'm wishing you luck..

I'm not sure, now that guy is out of the incubator I may have a nosey tonight and candle some again.

It probably varies, but roughly how long is it before the egg tooth gets absorbed?

I have no idea how old mine were when we got them but the seller told me "3 months" which was a bunch of bull... Both babies had their "egg pokers" for another at least 5-6 wks! And I have pictures to prove it. Pluse one's yolk sac scar looked very fresh on arrival. That's all i can say about it Craig

Well I just came home to find this. He was going nuts, can't believe how strong they are for the size.

The shell was stuck to his carapace, right or wrong I couldn't leave him like that, so I held him upside down and gently sprayed warm water down the side of the shell all the way around. One small pull and it popped off.
This guy was only 119 day to pip.
Sorry about rubbish photos.

Similar head patterns on both hatchlings. Do they share the same parents?

Good question, same northern mother. I have 2 northern males and a Brazilian male. I will be splitting the Brazilians when I get organised.
The Brazilian is only small and I assumed he was too immature to breed(coming up to 8" SCL) , But the plastrons are giving me doubts, also I don't know any of her history prior to the 2 yrs I've had her. I got her from a shop.(someone traded her in for a snake)
This is mother.
