18 good and 1 slug

What I saw when I got home

Egg size

Eggs setup in tubs

Momma after getting cleaned up

Looks like some of the eggs have newspaper ink stuck on them...

Really big eggs bloods have...Congrats on the clutch and best of luck on hatching

Your correct, a few of them have some good size pieces of paper stuck to them.

Fortunately none of the eggs were stuck together despite the one pair, they did however have the paper stuck to a few of them and its stuck good!

I didnt figure it'd cause any problems, and later on in the incubation if I wanted, I'm sure itd come off a bit easier.

Nice! I think someone once said if it's printed newspaper on the eggs, that your baby's will learn to read at a faster level

Good stuff T-Dog!!!

What a beautiful sight to see after a long hard day. Congrats Trevor, got pics of what you bred her to?

Thats quite the theory Chris haha

The male is a VPi Lylly line het albino, though I'm not banking on her being a het, just shooting for some nice reds.

This is an older picture of the male shortly after acquiring her, once he sheds out, I'll snap a fresh picture of him.

Nice, Tracy's Lylly line is one of my favs, nice crisp deep red

Awesome! did you put the slug in there for reference? She's a beauty!-A

Have you hugged your Blood today?

Notice she kicked some to the side. Long discussion on the kingsnake forum about this. I wonder, did you perchance mark those eggs and will you know where they were? The theory is that momma tends to kick eggs out of the huddle if she feels they are bad in any way.

BTW HUGE eggs

I agree with this theory, last year my female kicked 5 eggs out and all 5 appeared good but went bad shortly after being placed in the incubator.

I can try and go back and spot the ones that had rolled out.

I know one of them is looking great still, knock on wood.

But so far the only thing that looks funny is the slug which is starting to grow a tiny bit of mold on it.

Been saying I'd get pictures of the male up after he shed....

He is killer, I love that deep red he's got, those are going to make some insaine lookin little ones
