Beutiful lil' babies. Number 4 is my favorite, ive never seen a tail pattern like that before. Also, im not interested in purchasing, but what do you do with all those babies, sell um', keep um' also, your not supposed to inbreed same clutch hatchlings, right??? thanx, ;p

#4 is indeed a beauty! He was in the largest egg, I was almost convinced it was a twin egg. As far as whether I'm keeping or what have you, I am planning on keeping a couple of the hatchlings, or maybe only one (they are all boys best I can tell), the rest I will sell, either online, or locally. Just depends.

As far as inbreeding, yes, it is not something to undertake lightly, but if you understand genetics, the risks you are taking, and have a thorough knowledge of the background of the parent snakes, it can be undertaken. It IS often done when a single snake has some desireable characteristic that you wish to perpetuate. You will often breed it to another snake, and then breed the offspring together and back to the parent snake, trying to elicit more snakes with the same trait. Again, it is done, but shouldn't be undertaken lightly.

Congrats again!
