On Sunday afternoon I was checking the incubator for hatching Leopard Geckos and to my surprise I saw four little Ball Python heads sticking out of the eggs in their incubator box. I was surprised because they weren’t due to hatch until this weekend. I slit open the remaining eggs and out of six eggs I could see four Cinnamons and two normal.

This clutch was the result of a Graziani line Cinnamon Male bred to a normal Female. The clutch was laid on 9/13/05 and all though rather late in the season, was definitely welcome.
Here is a picture of the eggs.

One of them crawled out on Sunday, three of them crawled out on Monday, and this morning when I checked on them the other two were out. Here are the pictures of each one of the Cinnamons.

This is CINPAST05-1

This is CINPAST05-2

This is CINPAST05-3

This is CINPAST05-4

The odds Gods were definitely on my side in the ratio of Cinnamons to Normal but I wish I had gotten better odds on the sex ratio. I got two Males and two Females but I sure would have liked more Females. LOL

After photographing them I set each one up with it’s own little website so I could update all information on them and have a visual record of the whole breeding process. Here are the links so you can check them out and let me know what you think.

I hope you enjoy the pictures.
