Here goes! I am absolutely elated. Last year my only clutch went bad and also this year, my first norm x norm one did also (cheap incubator crashed and burned them.) So I made my own homegrown incubator out of FWatt, a cooler, and an awesome Helix T-stat. Here are the results! At least 6 Pastels, maybe 7. Sire: 2005 Graziani Pastel Jungle from the snakeKeeper (thanks guys!) Dam: pre-1999 female bought for $40 as an "adult male" at the Buffalo Herp Show in 2003.

This morning:

Last night; first female came out!

Ball pythons: 1.4 normals.. 1.0 Spider. 1.0 Graz pastel. 1.0 100% het or. ghost. Also 1.0 BCI boa. 0.2 horses (paint mares) 1.0 black cat, 1.0 fiancee, 2.3 clawed frogs. And a ton of freshwater fish and breeder rats.

Congrats on the babies. They are nice looking, I am glad this year you got babies. By the way the dad real held his color, nice looking boy.

Either you have really small hands, or thats a really big baby...maybe both- huh? Congrats to you!!
