Seriously, I have never personally picked up any recent imports. I have rehabilitated imports that were not thriving after arriving. All jokes aside, parasites would be a big concern. It would be fairly unlikely to get anything special. If mom has a unique appearance, it may be worth a shot. If mom's completely normal, babies will almost certainly be as well. In order to hatch something "neat" from a WC gravid normal female, one of two things would have to happen:

A) mom was just lucky to have been bred by a wild pastel, spider, etc.....a severe longshot at best.....or;

B) mom just happens to be a het for a trait, and just so happens to have been bred by another wild het......again, a severe lonshot.

I think the only advantage would be for someone just getting into breed to have some eggs that they can incubate, learn from, and experience the fun of hatching babies.

They don't come out the egg like that! Be for real

They don't? Ticks are smart cookies and travel with the eggs. They lodge in between them "waiting patiently" for the new snakes to emerge.

If I remember correctly the Barkers hatched out their patternless ball from a w/c female.

I think a lot of the morphs cam from wild collected females. Didn't Eric Sandoval hatch his paradox Albino from a Albino male Bred to a NORMAL Wild collected female? Thanks david

I guess if you breed w/c females with something unusual,you might get something .Hatching a morph from a w/c female is possible and so winning a Lotto.Thank`s,Tony
