spotted eggs hatching & other babies

mikefedzen Aug 08, 2012 02:53 AM

here's the 3 babies I got the other day from a normal female bred with the apricot het albino male.

two days later the spotted clutch started hatching.
started with 9 eggs, 2 of them got pretty moldy real quick... I wonder how much the moldy eggs affect other eggs?

took another day and a half but the first two to pip finally showed themselves. they have major attitude problems right out of the egg, haha. more pics to come as soon as the others hatch.

Congrats Mike! I have found that moldy eggs usually don't affect, the good ones much. However sometimes flies will lay eggs on the bad, and the worms may migrate over to the good ones.

Disclaimer: I do keep several snakes in pairs, and some in groups. However I realize that things can go wrong, and I have to keep a close eye on those groups, to be sure they are not being adversely affected by these living conditions. Also if one happens to eat it's cagemate, it is 100% my fault, and I know the risks in advance!

What's wrong with using CAUTION?!?!?!
King Snakes! Who can make a better mouse trap?

Congrats Mike. Those are some great looking hatchlings there! Will be interested to see what pops out of the spotted clutch.
