Deforming in the mouth?

[Solarsoldier001]

I had the clutch from Candino male to Albino girl where the babies came out just like this. My male has bred to 4 girls and where I do still have 2 clutches in the incubator, I did have 1 clutch hatch out and had 6 or 7 great babies, no issues what so ever, so I am pretty sure it isn't the male, but it was the first clutch of the Albino girl. I also did not have any big temperature swings or anything like that. I am unsure at the moment if I will do the same pairing next year or not to see if it was a fluke or possibly the female or just this specific pairing.

I'm hoping the issue is with the pairing. The mother is a first time mom. I don't want to repeat this pairing again.

How long do you wait as far as the babies? Me and my boyfriend are talking about it all the time. I told him to wait till the others come out to do it all together , because we don't know when is the right time. or should we just do it now with the ones that are out already? I just don't know which way is right. I don't think they are suffering from hunger at this moment. They did absorb the yolk. So that's what I mean as a far as I don't know. We are having an issue of "when is the right time"?

Normally a hatchling wouldn't eat until a week or so after the first shed anyway. Honestly I'm the type that would give them all a fighting chance just to make sure I'm making the right decision: if it eats, then great - that snake will go to a pet home. If they can't eat I would euthanize it and cry afterward. Some of them, like the albino that already died, may make the decision for you.

So sorry ):
I really hope it's just a coincidence this time or connected to the pairing so that she can still be a good mom in the future.
Poor babies :/
MikeM75 I mentioned you earlier (posted a link to your thread), just in case it helped them out any.

I honestly have no idea how a baby is supposed to eat with no under jaw. Two of the ones that are out have no under jaw. One kinda does. This is challenging enough already. Especially for only being our second
Time breeding. I don't know what to do

Sadly depending on how short the lower jaw is the only humane thing to do will be to euthanize them, it's not easy however if the animal cannot eat on it's own and has to be assisted their is no quality of life.

It is hard even when you have been breeding for a while making this type of decision is not easy but one that is necessary, this is the part of breeding that is not fun but that we all face.

Hopefully the other clutch will be perfect.

They are severely short I can not imagine them eating on their own. I can't imagine having to euthanize but I'll have to man up and do what's best for them.

That's incredibly sad. I hope I don't seem insensitive or anything, but it kind of makes them look like little sharks, and that's kind of cute..:s But, I am sorry about all this, feel better!

We cut all the eggs from the other clutch. We got 4 albinos and 3 normal looking animals. We could see two of the normals faces. And from what we can tell they look normal. Hopefully they all are fine. We'll update as we see

The other clutch has one head out and looks pretty good

Good luck. I am so sorry about the other clutch. I would be devastated in that situation. That's one of the many things that I'm trying to prepare for just in case.
