That would be the Ball Python Breeders club of course. On June 14th 2005 my first clutch of Ball Pythons started hatching. They were the result of a breeding of a pair of Graziani line Pastels that I obtained from the Sutherland’s in 2002. I was hoping to hatch out a Male Super Pastel and luckily I did. I hatched out 1 Male Super Pastel, 2 Female Pastels, 2 Normal Females and two Normal Males. I know that isn’t the best of odds but at least I got my Super and two really nice Female Pastels.

Here is a picture of the whole clutch on the first day of hatching.

Here is a picture of just the Super and the two Pastels.

Here is a picture of the Super right out of the egg.

Here is a picture of the Super after his first shed.

Here is another shot of the Super.

Here is a picture of the second Pastel after she has shed.

Here is another picture of the second Pastel.

Here is a shot of the first Pastel after she had shed. What is weird about this is she ate two pinky rats before her first shed, and didn’t shed until 7/11/05.

Here is another picture of the first Pastel.

By now all of them have had at least three meals and are growing like little weeds. Life is good.

I realize with all of the incredible new Morphs that have hatched out in the last month or so this may not be real exciting to some of you, but it is very exciting to me. You never forget your first time. LOL

If you would like to read more about my first breeding experience (I’m talking about the Snakes you perv’s) you can check out the link below for more information and pictures.

PS A special thanks goes out to Greg Graziani who really knows the meaning of the words “Customer Service”. Even though the Cinnamon Pastel I got from him didn’t turn out to be the father of the clutch, he never failed to return a call or answer an email with any problem or question I had. Thanks Greg.

I hope you enjoy the pictures,
Albey

Albey,
Congratulations, great job. That is one of the better looking Supers that I have seen from our line and how about those F2 Pastels? Just awesome and good luck with the future Cinnamon projects.

Congrats again,

Graziani, I met him at the Orlando FIRE show this past weekend. Boy was I impressed. He spent quite a bit of time sharing his experience and insights. What a professional!
