These are the first pits I've produced and I have to say these are the biggest fattest, juiciest colubrid babies I have ever seen! I had a trio of females in with my hypo patternless (or Leuc if you want to label it that) dad. One female was like the dad and the other 2 were snow/albinos (pure white, slight hint of pattern, red eyes). I'm a little embarrassed to admit, I never observed copulation, and my females were so healthy, I couldnt even tell which one was gravid. I checked the cage one day, and there were the eggs. needless to say, the genetics are a best guess right now. I can only assume the hypo/patternless dad got together with one of the snow/albino moms since as you can see, the babies hatched normal phase. this would mean the babies produced are double het snow/albino + Leuc. When they eventually reproduce, I should be capable of producing bone white patternless. Either way, I'm still a proud 1st time Pit daddy!

Here it is again, when i looked today, it wasn't there anymore, had to upload a 2nd time.

That is awesome! Why isn't there any black on that hatchling? Are you guys sure that is a normal?

OK, as stated, I'm a first time Pit daddy. I am not familiar with Pine hatchlings and if I have something out of the ordinary here, I'm not aware. the parents were two different morphs of Southern Pines. One a Leuc (or white patternless), and the other what i would call a snow albino (nothing but bone white with a slight off white pattern and red eyes).

I'm assuming I basically have normal phase double hets for the two morphs mentioned above. The coloration of the babies is brown with the white accents you see in the pic, no black or anything else for that matter. Is this out of the ordinary for pine hatchlings?
