Look at what I found in my incubator this morning. He didn't make it. He pipped, but never emerged, and so I slit the shell and found this. They are a pretty baby, and would have been nice to keep, but them's tha breaks.

Thanks,
nate.

Ah man that sucks.

I have hatched out twins in the past but never 2 headed. sorry it didn't make it! ~ Mike

You realllllly realllllly meant it. Sorry, That is a, going going going going, foul ball.

By the way, what happened to that one from last year. The one that appeared to be a normal albino calligaster?

Of interest, last year, I bred a Calking to a milksnake thayeri. But before they bred, I had put a male thayeri with the female. She killed him. But he must have bred her, as half the babies were without question, calking/thayeri and the other half, appear pure thayeri. I kept them all. Even if they appear pure, I will not offer them as such. They will all be labelled crosses. Cheers

I'll be posting new info about that calligaster baby on the hybrid forum. By the way, you sound apologetic, and are referencing a message that seems to have been deleted. Am I missing something?

That really is a beautiful snake.
Just a question, I didn't know that snakes could produce eggs and hatch them at this time of year. Is this normal, or just a once in while thing? Trying to learn more and more.
Sorry your lost this one.

Well since we (well, most of us I'd imagine)keep our captive bred snakes in a controlled/consant temperature in our houses, they aren't subject to the natural season changes, so I'm pretty sure we can breed them whenever we want. Am I correct?

Yeah, I put the first shift of my colubrids down early last fall so that my first eggs are hatching now. I have some females gravid right now, and one more shift that just went into brumation. I prefer a slightly shorter brumation anyway, as I have never had fertility problems in doing so.
