Some of the others did fine and others did not.
Overall I would say that each of these litters were poor. Usually a litter of ksb is quite healthy and maybe only a few will be still born or slugs. One of the splashs I produced was an extremely high white axanthic that was born fully developed, big still born. This female seems to have a little trouble during birth and it has taken her over 10 hrs to complete delivery. Last year she dropped only a 8 or so babies and retained the rest. I was albe to massage a few more out over the next few weeks. She was really slow to get back to feeding and has still not made it back to normal. A week or so ago she passed a few nasty looking slugs. I'm hoping that as she feeds more and more that she will be able to pass any thing else and hopefully get her back in good condition.

Mark, I hope to see somthing more come of these but what I have heard and seen myself gives me clues that they are not a simple recesive or co-dom trait, it seems more like an incomplete gene that occurs on more of a random occurrance. As far as I know the ringer morph of ball python was never proven either, along with many traits of many species.
No matter what, they are awsome animals that I will continue to try for, and you never know when the animal is produced that may have a more complete mutation.
This is of course just my opinion.
