2 weeks to go!!

This is it, the last few days, 6 weeks have passed. So only 2 weeks left. 

This pic was taken this morning.




The brown ones are not any good. I managed to get 2 of them out but the other ones are still stuck to the other eggs. 


After reading  other blogs and websites eggs can hatch up to 70 days after laying so it might be longer then 14 days.

Hot weather

With all the nice weather we have been having them temps in the tanks has risen. I am turning the heat lamps off about 2pm so i will not over heat the snakes. The incubator is reaching the high end of the temps (about 29-30) so i have turned it down and allowed more air to enter.
 
On top of turning lights of i have put a fan in my room which i can put on during the day!

JD's grand day out

After cleaning out JD's tank i must have left the door slightly open. In the time it took me to eat lunch JD had decided to go for a slither round my room. Panic! I however did not notice he had gone until i had to go to work. Oops! So i quickly blocked the door and shut the window (just in case!) I went to work worrying loads. About 9 oclock i got a phone call from mum. "I found him!" Great news!!! Apparently he was sitting in Angels nest box, which is now sitting on the floor ready to use for the baby snakes when they arrive. Angels scent is probably still on the moss. Mum managed to pick him up and place him bank inside his tank, making sure the doors were shut!! So JD has had a mini adventure, ending in a easy capture! 

He is now shoving his cave out of the way so he can sleep behind it. Not sure if he likes sleeping inside!
