Re: Babies ( pictures to come)
Here is a in egg of one of the super blacks. For those of you who are patiently waiting for them to come out he piped himself But I had to enlarge his hole to get a picture https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...9e869f08e0.jpg

Sadly both of the super black pastel were kinked. Each one had a single kink at the base of the skull that would prevent them from eating. Both were humanly euthanized. The rest of the clutch is I believe
1.0 black pastel spotnose.
0.1 Black pastel spotnose pinstripe
0.1 Spotnose pinstripehttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...fe9a1ce1c1.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...2f756b13a6.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...55aa085f6f.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...2b79ea8b14.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...d5c0e5e45f.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...9fad41e348.jpg

Re: Babies ( pictures to come)
I knew the risks breeding super black pastels. I incubated at a lower temperature than normal. I did everything that I could to ensure that they were healthy. The line that I use generally doesn't have kinking issues I just got unlucky. The thing in breeding that people need to remember is things happen, we have to take responsibility for the babies. So like I said before they were humanly euthanized and I don't know what next season will bring. I don't own that female anymore, she laid for me twice and I let her move on. I will be holding back the black pastel spotnose pinstripe the other two I haven't decided on yet.

It has and it hasn't. Like I said I made the choice I knew the risks and I'll be brutally honest I would do the pairing again I don't know anything different that I could have done it's never easy losing babies especially to a kink or something that is out of your control I did get a few exceptional babies out of there and snake that I was trying to hit so I can't be too disappointed with the clutch and I got fantastic odds even if I did lose 2

And that's the most important thing is I don't own up to it and dealing with it you know that's a choice we make as breeders
