My first (and only) clutch finally hatched! Another great result from a pos. het female.

This is my first attempt at breeding ball pythons, and after watching the eggs collapse for the past week and a half, and trying to decide if I sould slit the eggs myself or not (67 days of incubation), it sure was exciting to see all these healthy albinos pop out of eggs from a pos. het. female bred to my high contrast male. 4 albinos and 2 hets from 6 eggs laid. I can't wait to see what they look like after they shed.

The breeders

Now comes the hard part. Do I sell them or keep them? (I'll probably sell the one 100 het. male, and keep the rest. They are just too orange to sell!--not that I really need any more snakes to feed!)

Yes, Sunnyvale. (If you visit the reptile ranch (they have new name that I am unsure of, Raven Exotic or something like that) or Sunnyvale pets, I am they guy that is often delivering insects---crickets, silkworms, etc.) Say "HI" if you see me there.

Good job!
We have spoke on a few occasions at the Ranch and at Sunnyvale petz.
Good to hear you proved one of your het/poss het albino females out. (you have a few yes?)
I remember you saying you were not sure if you would get any clutches.
I too had a few surprise clutches this season from my het. pied.
Nick and Steve will be be drooling over them.
Let me know how they come along...........I might just have to work somethng out with you for one.
My chance at the Lottery is just around the corner.................
