I know I haven't shared that many pictures during my years on this forum, but I'm gonna make up for it right now.



Ok, so here's the deal. Two years ago my Albino Blotchless Yellow Ratsnake male mated with my Whitesided Everglades Ratsnake female, resulting in 11 hatchlings out of 11 eggs. Only 4 of them fed well on FT pinkies from the start, but fortunately turned out to be 2.2 and also the most colorful. The others insisted on live prey. So these are the ones I held on to, sold the rest.



Anyway, since they were only 2 years old, and still rather smallish after this year's hibernation, I didn't expect them to breed until next year, so I did't separate the males from the females. Imagine my worries when the females stopped eating and I felt the eggs in their abdomens. Anyway, all went well. One female laid 11 good eggs, the other 9 good eggs (no slugs!). All eggs hatched between the 18th and 26th of July, resulting in:



6 normal

3 albino

3 whitesided

1 blotchless

2 albino blotchless

1 albino whitesided

2 whitesided blotchless (!)

2 albino whitesided blotchless (!)



I've never seen last 2 combi morphs before, but if anyone ever has now would be a good time to come forward. Anyway, here they come:
