Were they just missing one eye or were they cyclopses?
I had a friend that had a 14ft burm that was born with one eye. Just had a scale over the place were the eye should be, doesnt seem to effect the snake at all! Interesting though.

Whatever it is, I have never seen one so beautiful. It gives those expensive four gene ball pythons a run for their money.
I am sorry you had bad news with your clutch, one of the less pleasant aspects of breeding any animal. However a huge congratulations on this amazing baby. Tell me, have you ever seen one of these as an adult ? Do they keep these colors, or change the way most ball pythons hatchlings do as they age ?

Yes it is a burm. I haven't seen one as an adult, so I'm not sure how much they change. I will definitely keep updates on this one though :)

I hope not, because I know their quality of life doesnt seem to be compromised. As evidence of the burm I personally know with his one eye. :)
I would LOVE to see pictures of your little one eyed beauties.
Oh no, they are happy in the hatchling rack :)

I couldn't get their "cute eyeless' side, since they want to keep an eye on you ( no pun intended ).
