    Does anyone know

    At what stage before hatching do the babies start to develop color. I had a boob egg go bad at day 25 so when I took it out the embryo was nice and white with gold eyes. The mother and father are both het albinos.

    Re: Does anyone know

    From what I've seen with corn snakes, skin pigment is one of the last things to develop. I could be wrong, but that's what I've seen.
    What are these mojavas I keep hearing so much about?

    Re: Does anyone know

    In my experience, they don't truly 'color up' until the week before hatch. Day 45 - 50ish. Granted, patterning develops earlier, but the last week or so they seem to really 'fill in' color-wise.

    Hope it helps.

    Cheers,

    Re: Does anyone know

    From what I have heard it develops around the last week of incubation.

    Re: Does anyone know

    I will relay a story about what recently occured to me, and another story that occurs every year for me.

    The first story involoves a clutch off eggs that I cut about 2 weeks ago. I cut a clutch of 6 eggs from Cinny x Pastel. I cut them on day 50. I saw 3 Pastels and 3 Pewters. Boy was I excited. These would be our first Pewters, as we missed on them last year. They all emerged between day 57 and 58. What came out of the eggs was 3 Pastels and 3 Cinnys. It was amazing how much color they gained in the last week.

    My second story involves hatching Axanthics. Over the last three years, we have hatched 7 clutches of Axanthics, with 3 more to go this year. Every clucth when I cut, I count the Axanthics, and every clutch, I always over count by 1 or 2. It is because in that last week, they develop into normals.

    In essence, all I did was to agree with all of the precious posters that color is definitely majority aquired in the last week.

    Hope that helps,

    Thank for the Pewter luck, but I finally broke down, and got one from another breeder. I am waiting on it to shed and feed, and it will be coming home. Then the pics will come.
