My babies are hatching!

Snake_Charmer Aug 18, 2003 03:33 PM

My babies are hatching!
They started sometime last night while I was asleep. When I woke up this morning 2 little heads were poking out. Of the 8 eggs no more have slit as of yet, but one of the first 2 has almost completely emerged from the egg. Looks to be an almost perfect little 50/50 banded baby.
These are normals, nothing special. Mum is off white/choc 50/50 banded, dad is dark chocolate/yellow striped cal king.
I should get an interesting mix
Will post pics once all have hatched/shed.

Congratulations! You know I have bred my 50/50 chocolate female and my Coastal banded male for three years now and this is what came out for the first time. He was the last one to hatch in my clutch of 8 this year. After 3 years and 24 babies this thing came out. I like so much he is a keeper. I usually don't like abberant patterns, but this one is kinda neat.

I tried for a few yrs to produce something like that...never did.

Indeed it is, very pretty baby.
I bred the same mama to a gorgeous BIG banana king last year, and the first one out was very similar to that. Indeed I did keep him. As a matter of fact I was just handling and admiring him a little while ago. I'll post some pics of him and his brother along with their new baby siblings once they're all out
