Just had a chance to take a few pics of some of our new hatchlings. Clutch #15 pastel female x pastel het. ghost produced 2.2 pastels ph ghost and this female super ph ghost. She sure is going to be a nice super. Good results all pastels plus the super, this is what makes it all worth while.
My albino to het. female albino clutches #16 and #17 were a bit disapointing, clutch #16 was 6 egg clutch and 3 eggs went bad right away, I produced One female het. and had 2 dead in the egg, one albino and one het. very sad but it does happen, I bought the albino and the het. from same breeder so I will see if they were possibly related.
Clutch #17 was 6 eggs and One slug, I did not feel to confident in this clutch, as the female got egg bound and I had to assist her egg laying process. The eggs were small but appeared to be viable so I just was hoping for the best. Two eggs went bad, but 4 remained and began to hatch, I produced 2 albino females and 2 sets of twin hets. One twin died and did not make it out of egg, but 3 did make it out, their weights scare me 10g,18g and 28g, the albinos were 48g and 54g at birth. I will keep my fingers crossed for the micro babies, 2 look like they should make it if they feed for me.
These were the years final clutches and I had an overall sucessful first year producing 17 clutches of ball pythons in all. Great sucess producing 23 pastels out of 30 eggs. 30 het. albinos,2 albinos, 19 het. ghosts, 7 ph pieds and 7 pastel sibling normals.
Just wanted to share my success and disapointments, breeding ball pythons has been a lot of fun, with great anticipation and the all the possibilities there are you never know what will happen. This keeps me excited about future breeding projects to come.
Here are a few pics.
