The Eggs are Hatching! Pictures!

[Catherine]

You can see the slits in the eggs and if you really look you can see the tip of a nose sticking out.

See the little face sticking out of the moss.

See how tiny it is.

The first born

So tiny


Are you sitting down? I got pictures of an actual hatching. I have seldom seen this!

He is working to get his face out of the egg.

You can see the nose sticking out

A little more

The head is fully out

It is a slow process

He has a beautiful face

He is resting

Movement

We have hatching!

When you are long, it takes some time

If you look at the picture just below the hatchling there is a previously hatched baby watching.


Almost out

Birth is always a special moment

Nearly done

Looking good

Getting there

Finally the tail

The egg shell is empty


This is the best I have ever seen and it was daylight so pictures were possible, not easy, but possible.
