Goober, from the boob-egg
My big normal female, Daiserbeam, was bred to our lemon pastel, Butters. She gave us three BEAUTIFUL eggs, one slug, and one tiny boob-egg. We candled it, saw veins, and incubated accordingly. Every week, we candled it, and every week it remained viable.
We slit about a week ago, and sure enough, there was a tiny snake in the tiny boob-egg. Today, with some help, he's finally out.
I have to ask, just for my own edification, has anybody ever had a ball python hatch out this tiny? Were they okay?
Goober *seems* okay, there's no kinks or obvious physical deformities (aside from his funky shaped head), but we're still a bit nervous, obviously. Our vet's just a call away, after all.
And uh..... I knew he was going to be tiny and all but....
(please excuse my pasty white and bandaided hand)
15 grams. Goober weighs 15 grams.

Re: Goober, from the boob-egg
I've never seen a baby at 15 grams! Wow!
Really, just see if he eats and lives ok. If he can grow and live like a normal ball python, let him! But treat him with care and good luck!

Re: Goober, from the boob-egg
Is he going to be able to eat with a head shaped in that way? I am just unsure anatomically for swallowing. But he is cute none the less.

Good luck. He is SO cute! He should be able to eat mice pinkies. I have seen corn snake babies and they are TINY and that is what they eat. I will be sending positive vibs to your little goober

Re: Goober, from the boob-egg
He is cute. It looks like his head is too big for his body. I did hatch out two sets of twins last season. They were all very small. I did not weight them though. They all started eating no problem, are still doing great.
Good luck, and keep us updated.
