New pics we took of the two live....more>

This pic was taken a few hours after birth. Both of these females absorbed all of their yolk and are super fat babies. It is amazing how fast they lose this "fat" look. Prior to their first shed, they will lose the majority of this weight.

Thanks for looking,
Stacy

We have clipped the umbilical cords and put them in a sterile environment. One of these has a bit of hypo look to her....too bad her sister didn't make it.

We had an expert look at this animal this morning and he determined it was definitely full term. We've also talked with a few other breeders, and they have all agreed it is either a hypo or T positive Albino. We will preserve the animal and get some more opinions. If anyone out there can help, please do, as we know very little about hypos or T positive Albinos ...........

The only animals we have produced with only one eye are albino burmese pythons. I've also seen a lot of one eyed albino boas.

It is quite possible it could've been a T positive albino, and you haven't seen any others yet because of the small number of viable young..
quite possible you can make more next year! I would definately try!
