Our first royal hatching
I cut one of Hussy’s eggs last night - it had collapsed in an odd manner, and to be honest I thought it was dead. It took a while to carefully cut round the veins on the egg as delicately as possible, and in the end I could see a fully formed normal royal python through the small hole, but no movement.
A couple of hours later, I returned to see this:

He/she looks absolutely perfect, I imagine he’ll stay in the egg for a few more days until he’s ready to come into the outside world, and hopefully by then his sibling from Hussy’s other egg will have pipped too. I am over the moon with this - our first ever royal python baby!
