My name's Ryan and I'm a cutter.

Turns out the full egg must have been doing some weird light displacement thing, cause it had the biggest baby in it. Looks like I got 4 out of 5 Cinnies. They all look great. Now I just have to wait for them to come out so I can see how good they really look. Here's a before and after shot, and mom. To answer Jay's question below, they were incubated at 87-88 degrees.

I love her too. Seriously the most impressive black back I've ever seen. Black backs are always nice, but none have such a perfect look. That's why I'm hoping she has something genetic going on. She didn't prove to be co-dom 2 years ago, so next year I'll hopefully be breeding her male cinny offspring back to her and see if she ends up being recessive. Worst case scenario, I end up with more cinnies and a really nice breeder female. Best case, poor man's Clown. If you catch my drift.

Yeah, my kids are very into it. Everyone I work with is petrified of snakes (Grown men... like 300 pound, grown men). I have this pic, among others, on my computer of my 40 pound, 8 year old daughter holding the black back. Really makes them look stupid.

Look like cinnamon's in the egg... especially if you cut too early.
lol
But I hope you do get that many.

In coloration and pattern. There are definitely 3 cinnies in there and 1 normal. The other one is iffy on color but has some weird patterning going on, so we'll see.

That is one beautiful momma!! I love her clean light pattern.
