Wow....I had no idea they would hatch so quick but just 38 days after being laid my Cerastes c.gasperetti have started hatching. I guess being a desert species it makes sense for the eggs to develop fast but even so that still seemed pretty quick.
a few pics.

cheers Stu, yep some proper photos would be good. I reckon about a dozen will hatch, none are out at the moment though.

Stunning!! God they look cute when they hatch, those little soft horns
38 days is very short  You must have looked in often to see them hatch. I normally look in once a week or so until they get close to the expect hatching time.
PS have fun getting the venomous little buggers to feed

Pure luck on finding them Ron, was showing Nick L a few bits and I noticed the eggs looked different (a few real dark coloured). I was thinking around 50+ days.
yep, feeding may be fun, although their heads are big enough for pinks, so I may be lucky.

yep, if you pull your finger out! Also I still stand a slim chance on those puppy photos...although trust me I'm not buying another 'replica' just for puppy pics
Feeding wise, no idea. I've only ever seen these offered as wild caught and almost every male I've ever worked with needed force feeding for almost a year before they took on their own.
