ball pythons are pipping

imridethelghtng Jul 02, 2008 03:50 PM

i lost 3 eggs out of 10.But the other 7 have pipped.Still not sure what i have yet.Everytime i walk into the room to see if they are out they poke their noses back into the eggs.From what i can see it looks like i got a split clutch of pastels and yellow bellies.Will find out and post pics once they are out.They are cute little guys,from looking at the noses.

Thanks I agree I have my first ball python clutch incubating now and can't wait till they pip.

I have bred various colubrids, boas, and pythons.

I have always used maternal incubation with pythons (reticulatus and bivittatus)and this is the first time I have ever incubated python eggs. The eggs where laid on June 8th and all is well in the incubator. I am using 88 as a temp for the eggs. She laid seven eggs. het pied to het pied breeding.

Once again Congrats and thanks for the info.

Congrats Kevin!

I hope that male YB sired your clutch! Here is what you are looking for....the snake on the right might be the "unknown" morph if the YB was a cross.
