I don't know what's in 'em, they haven't hatched yet, 
, ha ha, J/K.
Hopefully some Pastels. She was bred with this guy. She had 5 eggs last year, 4 of which were Pastels.
This thing came out today as well. It was damn-near the size of a Ball egg!

He was 800g by 7.5 months of age and sired 2 clutches before he hit a year. He's now 2 years old (almost) and is over 1700g. I hope some of the holdback baby females take after him this year!

How big was dad in the pic; 700-800 gramish? Does he still have good colors at 1700 grams? I know they usually dull a little/lot, but he was very good looking for his size.
Thanx,
Chad

The pic is from about 6 months ago. He still has the same colours as when he was hatched. I kept back a baby from him from last year and its already 800g and it looks the same. They are all Graziani line Pastels.
Cheers!
Pics from this breeding season, and a new pic of his yearling son:

I know someone asked to see more detailed pics of your substrate-less incubator/incubation setup.
Did you ever post pics?

there was some pics. Its a pretty basic setup. Box that can hold water, insulate that box, put some water in the box, heat the water, suspend a Rubbermaid (egg box) over the water, calibrate temperatures, add eggs, watch eggs hatch. Same method as in the Ball Python Manual from 10 years ago, only I don't use substrate. The eggs sit in 100% humidity and hatch on plastic grate.
Check out these weirdo eggs!
