Its has been a good year so far.... But..

I guess when you get more clutches more things can go wrong and you can hit some of negative things..
I started with a clutch from Albino X Het Albino this year.. there was 5 eggs, when the time come to hatching there was 3 albino and 2 het's.
one of the albino died in the egg.. the snake was wrapped in the umbilical cord and made a knot on it... hmm bad luck..





My 4th clutch was from Pinstripe X Normal..
5 eggs.. When the time to hatch come there was 4 pinstripes and 1 normal.. the one pinstripe died in the egg...
the same way as the albino did... the snake was wrapped in the umbilical cord and made a knot out of it...



My 7th clutch was from Yellow Belly X Normal..
6 eggs.. the 5 babies hatch on day 53 (2 Yellow Bellys and 3 Normal) and one Yellow belly was sitting in the egg..
it hatched on day 56 and I have never see a snake that deformed.. the head was a mess and it was kinked all the way down from the neck to the tail..
what a freak..

I don't know what makes the snake turn out that way..
It can be like when human gets handicapped babies or it can be caused by to high temperature swing.
Hope this is the first and last i ever see..
