I've got ball eggs finally!

How exciting! Okay, correct me if I'm wrong, but these eggs come from two het or possible het piebald parents? I can't remember... : P Does that mean even if these are normals, they might be het for something as well? Can't wait to see pics once they all slide out of those shells.

No these came from normal x pastel and normal pairings. No hets involved in these clutches. The clutch that's due to be laid in the next few days, however, is coming from a 100% het pied x 100% het pied pairing. Whatever normals are produced by the pair will be 66% poss. het pieds.

I think this is precious. Had to share. It's 4:23am and I couldn't sleep so I was up checking on the babies. So far, three of Ailynn's eggs have pipped.





First baby out of the egg is one of Dewshine's. I'll set each group of baby up in a tub until they shed (several of them look like they're already about to shed) and then I'll sex them and get them into individual tubs.

congratulations on the clutch, cute little slime balls :-P

Aww, what a pretty baby snake.

btw i think i already have you a buyer lined up for one of you ball pythons :-P

Thanks, guys.

Someone wants one of these guys already? lol Let them know I need to get them eating well before I'll let them go.

Okay, all but one baby has left its egg and I'm noticing a peculiarity among Ailynn's crew..

Nearly every one of them have het pied markers. I did pair her up with Gabriel, my 100% het pied, EARLY on in the season but not for long (only a few days!) because I changed my mind on using Gabriel with more than one female. I don't believe any of Dewshine's have this and the only difference being that Ailynn was also paired with Gabriel for a short time so I'm wondering if these guys are poss. het pieds.. Someone remind me not to do this in the future! I will be selling these guys as normals, but with the understanding that they MIGHT possibly carry Gabriel's genes.

What are you going to be selling the babies for. I might like to get a female from Ailynn's group of babies.

I'll be selling them at $40 each after they have shed and are feeding consistently.

I'll get pics of the two groups when I get a chance and I'll make sure to include belly shots of them as well so you guys can see what I'm seeing.

Finally got some pics of these guys.

Aww I love baby snakes!!!

Aww I love those normals. It would be so hard to choose, hehe.

So far only two of the nine have eaten for me - D-04 and A-01. The rest seem to think rat pinks are just plushy pillows.

Hoppers were a definite hit! All babies have fed and look very content in their tubs right now.

Yeah!!!

Awesome.
