My amazing dinkers! Caution: Dead snake photos. NEW ADDITIONS TO THE PROJECT!

Congrats!

I'm not much on what most people label dinkers but those two deserve it! I can't wait to see what pops out. Hope it proves genetic for you

Regards,

I didn't snap any photographs while she was laying, I was too excited! But here are her week-old eggs. All five look great! Ignore the temperature reading on the thermometer, I have it there for scale. It's 88-90 degrees in the incubator.

Thanks for the comments everybody! I doubt anything too special will show up with this first generation, but you never know!

Congrats! We cut our eggs last night to find 4 dead babies, so I hope you have better luck! She is *very* nice, I think I may want on that waiting list lol

beautiful girl! I cant to see the hatchlings!

I have some good news, and some very, very sad news. The good news is that the stripe seems to be heritable (dominant, even!), the bad news is that one of the eggs pipped too early and died. What a real bummer. After waiting two years for this breeding and then the first egg dies. The baby looked almost identical to its mother. The other four eggs are looking good, so here's hoping they'll be a lot healthier than their sibling. I hope I get a couple of stripes out of them!

Here are some photos of the deceased hatchling. I'm using links because some people may be squeamish.

Oh man I hope you get a male maybe you can hit a super!

The one that died was a male. *sniff* The other eggs aren't due for another week. Here's hoping!

Awe, sad! He was amazing!

Wow he was nice, i hope the other 4eggs turn out like him or better.
