    We had 2 hypos hatch out as well, but they both only have one eye :( not sure what happened with that. They are beautiful anyway, and we are extremely happy with this pearl!

    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.

    What is that Heather ?

    A Burmese ?

    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 ?

    They are just missing one eye. Still beautiful though!

    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 :)

    Did you euthanize them?
    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.

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