Hey guys are are some quick photos of the babies. I am now 100% sure that the father of these babies was the male that bred the female on her 3rd breeding.
The father is a 100% HET Albino from VPI. He has a long black-back pattern. All of the hatchlings have the same markings broken black back patterns.
So I will call these FOR sure 66% HET Albino. I have not been able to sex them yet. I tried popping as I watch my snake sexing video from Dr Seward, but I still don't think I am doing it right.
I only tried it on one baby last night I was very very gentle but when I did it some clear liquid came out of the vent, I dunno if it was pee or what, but it had no odor.
On a sad note I NOW KNOW what a dead egg looks like. This egg started to dent a few days ago. The humidity was really on the dry side, so I misted the medium to bring it back up.
None of the other eggs were dented. I don't think the egg died because it dried out. I dunno what happened to it.
The female of this clutch is a 2002 CH'ed girl. She was around 1700 grams. The father is a Snake Keeper Pastel. The eggs are much smaller then the eggs from my 2200 gram female.
Maybe that has something to do with it.
Should I leave this egg or try to remove it? I am going to cut it open if I can remove it. I am not sure what I may see, it was incubated for 29 days so far.
I just hope if I see a snake that it's NOT a Pastel.
