Woo-hoo! First ball python clutch of the year hatching!

[SnakeEyesExotics]

Thank you for all the compliments! All the babies came out and most of them are in the blue right now. All of them look very healthy! Once they shed and get a couple meals in them, they will be ready to go to their new homes!

Any breakdown on the sex of those little ones? Or did i read to fast and miss it?

 

[SnakeEyesExotics]

I haven't sexed them yet, but I probably will tonight. I'm kinda curious as well...

All males! I kid.

Honestly, I personally love em no matter what sex they are. There all still soooo cute!

 

[SnakeEyesExotics]

Aah!! Don't jinx me like that! I need a few more lesser females, lol!

 

[Utta]

I hope I didn't jinx it!

 

[SnakeEyesExotics]

I hope I didn't jinx it!

You'll know tonight, lol!

Thanks Krystal! It's so hard waiting on eggs to hatch! Our next clutch is due to hatch on May 26th, and it is from a DH Albino Pied x Possible DH Albino Pied breeding. I'm just about going nuts on what might be in those eggs..

Oh, wow!!! I'd sure be going bonkers right now if I were waiting on that clutch!!! Even if you don't get an Albino Pied, I hope the possible het proves out!!

Is it possible to tell the difference between an Albino and normal by candling?

LOL, I am! I'm having to restrain myself from opening the incubator every hour to check on them! The female is from a DH x DH breeding herself, so there is a 66% chance that she is het for albino or pied, and then a 44% chance that she is a double het for albino pied.

This would be our first year ever producing albinos, so I'm not sure if there is a way to tell by candling. Some of the eggs do look kinda light, however.

We have another possible DH female that is due to lay in about a week, and she is bred to the same DH male. It's exciting that there is more than one chance to get an albino pied!

I will be happy with anything visual, though!

Tyler! You're my lucky charm, my friend! **hugs!** If I am not mistaken, the clutch consists of 0.2 normals and 1.3 lessers!! I sexed them by palpating, so they will be sexed again just to be sure once they shed. Yay!!

 

[SnakeEyesExotics]

One of the lesser girls had her first shed yesterday!

 

[Shadera]

Lovely little lesser lass.

Thank you!

 

[R. Eventide]

AWWW! What a cutie!!!

She looks ready to snap in the second picture. Does she have a bit of an attitude?

 

[SnakeEyesExotics]

Thanks! Nah, she was just being shy.

 

[Utta]

Thanks! Nah, she was just being shy.

I love her! Who's your holdback?

WHEEEEEE!!!!!!!! *hugs*

We are thinking about hanging on to the female lessers, unsure on the male.

 

[SnakeEyesExotics]

We decided to put the little lesser boy up for sale, if anybody is interested:
