New (unusual) clutch of Ball Python eggs...

Matt J Jun 26, 2003 09:06 PM

Well, here is a clutch deposited yesterday on the 25th. I've titled this work of art as, "Four good ones, three Spuds and two Light Bulbs". The female is a CBB four year old and this is her first clutch. I was hoping for all 'good' eggs, but I'll keep my fingers crossed on the four.

Light bulbs...LOL...I like that. They really DO look like that though!

Hi Matt -

Have you candled the four good looking eggs?

Yeah, I looked at them candled and they 'appear' okay, but not as nice as my 'typical' good eggs. We'll see if they make it... I REALLY hope so... why? I'm not a morph maniac (the vast majority of my snakes are 'normal'), but here is a pic of dad!

My first nipple deformity egg (not as bad as your light bulbs but similar) is half way through incubating and still looks good. I wouldn't hold your breath on those two but it's certainly possible they might hatch (small) snakes. Keep at least those two a little on the dry side. The nipple end of mine started stretching and I was worried it would blow out until I dried things out a bit.

I hatched out a ball python egg with a nipple deformity ( though not as extreme as the one you have pictured on the left) last year. The hatchling was a little small, but is healthy and thriving.
