Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Sorry about that little hatchling. I would have really liked to have seen it healthy and grow up...beautiful color and pattern! Maybe another, similar-looking, but healthy, baby will hatch out next year.

Im sorry about this little one... to me this looks clearly like a case of deformity but Im also wondering if it may have been some type of siamese-twin... or some type of duplicated organs or something to that effect to cause the body to be that much larger than the rest... it does almost look like it is two snakes in one -- just minus the extra head and tail...
The last post on this was on the 17th... today is now the 19th and I am assuming you have had to take things into your own hands as far as this little fellas best interest...
you seem to be the analitical type -- If you do indeed decide to take a peek inside this little one, might you give us an update of your findings?
again, I really am sorry for this little guy...

Oops, sorry I forgot to reply this!  It's been one of those weeks (months, actually).
Anyway, I did euthanize this animal but I didn't do too much as far as trying to figure out what exactly was wrong with him. Since he was so light colored, it was pretty easy to see through him in bright light. Basically his spine was all deformed and crooked. One part looked like it actually was broken and didn't connect. I have CLOSELY examined the other babies from the clutch, and I can't find a single kink anywhere, so I'm assuming it was totally random and not necessarily something that would be passed on through the bloodlines.
Here's a question for anyone of y'all though: When selling the siblings to this baby, do you think I should disclose the fact that one from the clutch was deformed? I think I should at least mention it to anyone who's looking for a baby for future breeding...

Ooh. Excellent question. I'd like to hear the advice on this myself.

So Sorry ABout Your Baby!
Honesty is the best policy...
If it is genetic and you sell one of the babies as a breeder, then that person breeds it and ends up with some "swizzle sticks"..you could potentially end up with your name being slammed on the BOI..
Personally I would not take the risk...it is not worth it...just disclose this info to the buyer(s) or sell them only as "pets"
I would think this to be a fluke thing...
Just my opinion...hope this helps

hatchling
i would say it got overheated in incubation and or had fungus attack it the patterns sometimes look different when they get attacked but I dont think that would count for its diformitys

Steve, I had pretty much ruled out both of those possibilities. There were over 100 other eggs in that incubator at the time, and none of the other snakes hatched out like this. I've heard of fungus affecting pattern before, but there wasn't a problem with fungus on the eggs and most of the babies from that clutch have peculiar patterns (so does the mom.) I'm assuming it's just a random freak of nature.
