Well, this was the bad ending to a horrible breeding season. I manually hatched my last Pueblan Milksnake egg since it was long overdue. The baby was a beautiful Halloween that looked very much like it's daddy, but it was horribly deformed. Severely kinked all over, and an underdeveloped head. It was sort of alive when I pulled it from the egg, but it didn't live much longer.
This has just been a terrible year for me. I've had at least 100 eggs, but only 15 of them were fertile. Of the 15, I've had 2 fatally deformed, 3 kinked tails, and 8 non or extremely stubborn feeders. The remaining 2 were just fine from the start. And now it looks like my "gravid" BRB may not be gravid after all.
Wish me better luck for next year.
