Hes only 28 grams!! Whats the smallest you guys have had?? I think hes pretty small no? all my snakes were purchased at a year old or older so hes the first hatchling ive seen and handled! The rest of the eggs were much bigger and the heads look twice the size. they are still in teh shell!!

He looks good, so tiny! My smallest was 58 but I heard of a twin hatching at 16. Be careful with him.

Congrats! Looks good!

Someone recently hatched out a 10 gram baby. May have been a Canadian breeder as it was pictured next to a Canadian coin...tiny little thing...

im new to owning a python, but seeing this is really getting me interested in breeding. one question, i see this one is a bumble bee, right?....was one of the parents normal, or both morphs?....nice python, truly, i wanna see a baby in person now!!!....

So tiny, Congrats on the hatchling. What was the pairing?

Its a pinstripe! Pinstripe m x normal f. Thanks guys!!!

It is really small, but it looks healthy. Once it starts eating it'll grow pretty quick. The first few months are constant growth. It seems like the double in size weekly (although that’s obviously an exaggeration)

My Mojave girl came out at 32 grams, she was a runt. Lol but now she's an eating machine and packing on weight nicely.
