Egg 11 didn’t hatch. I inspected it today and I could see some lines in the shell that looked like attempts to cut the egg from the inside, but didn’t go all the way through. So I cut the egg and it was dead, motionless with its egg tooth already off. I wish I would of cut it sooner, but there wasn’t any way of knowing. It was the largest of all the babies. I’m bummed it didn’t make it. But I suppose that is going to happen time to time.
Here’s a picture of all 10 together.

That’s a tough break on #11! I am so sorry! The would have, could have, should have, are always in hindsight. This babe was just not meant to be.
But you have 10 success stories! All of them are quite remarkable! Congratulations on a job well done!

So sad on egg 11. 
There’s always part of me that thinks I should cut eggs, but I ended up really regretting it this year. So you never can tell whether it’s the right or wrong thing to do. Always a tough call.
Glad you have 10 incredible, healthy hybrids, though. They’re so unique and beautifully colored and marked! It’d be tough to choose which one(s) to keep.

What a clutch! I slit any egg that hasn’t pipped within about 24 hours of the first pip I notice.

I’ll remember that for next year.

Sorry you lost one. That’s never easy to accept for me, even though I know it happens regularly on nature. To cut or not to cut is always a difficult decision, and different people make different choices for good reasons. My own choice is not to cut until at least 24 hours after the last pip, but that’s me.
Congratulations on all of the healthy babies though! Every healthy one is a win!

I wanted to post a post shed update. They all shed without issue and half have eaten. It’s hard to capture their colors accurately.

Outstanding. After shed, I don’t know if I can pick favorites.

Absolutely stellar! These babies are just going to get even better and better, if that’s even possible! I have to say that the top two on the right are my faves! I can see a face in the head-stamp on the top one and I love the caramel like stripe on the neck of the second one. But ALL are keepers!!!
Congratulations!

How are their personalities compared to typical sweet corn snakes?

This is really interesting half have easy corn snake personalities, very easy going. The other half are very feisty, they strike and bite. I’m assuming they’ll grow out of that. I’ve had other babies like that who calm down within the first year.

Here are two of my favorites. Their color is coming in nicely. These both have had one shed and multiple meals. I have another one that I will hold back for sure, but it’s in blue again. I’m surprised by how much orange/yellow the first one is developing compared to when it hatched.

Wow! There certainly is a huge difference in the amount color! Those yellows are popping! Gorgeous animals for sure!
The head stamp on this second one looks like a face! Eyes nose and mouth!
