My first hatchling of the year

Congrats on the hatchlings and good luck with the pastel! :)

Congrats Kevin. Those are some nice looking babies. Hatchlings are always a blast. Good luck on the rest of your season.

That lil girl sure is pretty. The YB ain't bad either.....
Congrats on the new babies.

Thanks for the congrats everyone! All of them are now out and the stats are 1.2 Yellowbellies, 1.2 Normals, and 0.1 "?".

The female "?" could be an example of the abberrant mom of the clutch. She looks different from the other 3 normals in the clutch and has similar belly markings as her mother, but since I didn't have a camera when the mom was a hatchling I have nothing to compare her to except my foggy memory. I will just have to see if this girl colors up over the next year like her mother did, and if not she is still a beautiful ball python that definatley deserves holdback status.

Here are a couple photos of the few little'uns that would sit still.

I will post some better photos once they have shed and fed. Next clutch due to hatch is my Chondro clutch and I am sooooo psyched for that one!

The "?" girl is the one I first posted in this thread. If you compare her with the normal girl above you might see why I think she is different from the other 3 normals in the clutch.

Maybe it is just wishfull thinking?
