What's this??

I sure hope so

Any news yet? :)

Are they out? Where are the pics

Like I said in my previous post, they haven't decided to come out yet, buuuuut.....................................one of the babys has decided to stick his nose out off the egg. That's the newest information I can give you.

Well, now it seems like one of the babys has died.....:(. When we had a quick look at the eggs today outside their incubator we saw that all of the ball pythons were moving a bit, but one of the snakes wasn't moving, we tried to touch it gently but no response. We saw that it laid in a strange position and was the only one that didn't do anything when we looked at them.
It's a pastel so we're pretty sad right now. But the good news are that the others have decided to at least start looking out from their eggs. The weird one is still just laying there,waiting..

thats bad news im sorry to hear that hopefully the one you are waiting for makes up for the lost one :( i wish you luck with the rest

Did you take the snake out of its egg or leave it be.

Ive had a male last year do this. hardly any movements at all. I left him be and he came out day later than the others.

I left it in the egg, so there might still be a chance...

Sorry about the possibly lost one :(, but the rest peeking out seems very promising :D

Hopefully the non-responsive one is just messing with you. :hmm:
Good luck on the rest, I can't wait to see the update.

I'll take some pictures tonight of the ones that's stuck their heads out.
Tonight here in Sweden means early afternoon for you americans..

To me...It definitely sounds like you cut too early. Hopefully the one that is not moving is ok. Good luck.

did you read whole thread. They were cut on day 55 at 87-88F which is perfectly fine and wont cause this problem.

Most pip on their own by day 50-54 at 88F

I read the whole thread, but they were cut on 4/29 and are still in the egg? Something about that seems odd to me. Maybe the T-Stat or thermometer were reading incorrectly?

Here's a picture of the first one out: A Lemon Pastel with it's umbilical cord twisted around it, we read a lot of threads and then cut it like they did and it seems to be comletely ok.
Let's hope for the best....the others are starting to peek out too..

What a tease, just one has come out for photos. :rolleyes:
I'd never seen a BP come out of the egg with it's umbilical cord wrapped around it... I learn something new every day. Lol :)

Congrats... looks like a nice one too. Like the striping!

Looking good! Was that the top left one in question? The pattern looks about right. I bet that little booger will be nice and bright after its first shed!

Nope, the weird one is still in the egg, it's still super bright and super reduced...it's awesome:D

As I said before... mommy is not "normal" somethin is goin on here :D

Lets everybody turn to page 3 and take a look at mom one more time.. I still think She is very very very dirty Enchi...

We are in for something new here, like the title said; "What's this?"
We just have to wait and see, I'm close to just dragging the little weirdo out of it's egg, but it will be out anyday now.

Now ill be at work pushing my red sox updates aside just to come and check for updated pics.

I know! This has been some great daytime drama. I keep coming back. We all have our fingers crossed that everything will be ok! They're kinda like BP.net's sweethearts. What an exciting clutch:D

Very excited for you, also because I have a girl that (IMO) could be a twin with yours that is due to lay in about two weeks. I bred her to a butter though. I have no history on her as I got her kind of as a rescue about four years ago. I have a picture of her in my avatar.

Here it is, an updated pic of the Lemon Pastel that hatched yesterday. It has pretty neat colours...

Damn with that wash out head and that Bright he looks more like super than regular pastel

I don't think it's just a pastel or super pastel....
White head, gorgeous bright stripe going down the middle, the body doesn't look blushed out...in fact, it only looks deep black & a beautiful yellow
Whatever they are, they're gorgeous! And I can't wait until that "weird" one comes out.

Hi,

It might not be a bad idea to send the pic (and pics of the parents ) to Kevin at N.E.R.D. - maybe the EvilMorphgod has seen something similar? :please:


dr del

The anticipation is frustrating.. :hmm:

Another picture...

Ughh, I wanna see the rest of this clutch!!
That Lemon pastel looks fabulous.

This is the only one that's outside it's egg....All the other ones have just showed their faces..

Jimmy can You take few more pictures of mama in good light including Head Shot (eye color) and belly Shot ?? maybe some of our users gonna put some more light on that mystery... besides like I said before very very very dirty Enchi......Specter comes to mind as well..

This is Pastel Specter Photo from worldofballpythons.com morph list :
http://www.worldofballpythons.com/fi...pecter/001.jpg

Is a lot of similarities... wash out head.. Stripe.. some parts of stripe melting to the side...

But That's of course my guessing game...

Anyway next year I'll definitely bred her to Yellow Belly ad see what will pop up :gj:

Pictures of the mother:

Eyes:

That baby is INSANE!!! Those parents must have some GOOD GENES! Awesome! I can't wait to see the rest!

I've heard that reduced pattern normals can pass on those genetics to their babies, but this girl seems to be passing on something awesome! That head on the baby is like pure white, plus the weird patterned baby is something else!

I think you're onto something there. First pic of mom I was thinking Yellow Belly, but after seeing her belly shot definitely not a YB. She is probably something more similar to the Het Puma, which is compatible with YB and Specter... You can see pics of Het Pumas and Specters (and belly shots) on Albey's page here...

http://www.albeysreptiles.com/ball_col.htm

I'd be putting that girl to an Ivory in the future.

Mkay from What I see now definitely not Enchi..... Any Specter Expert ???

She has definatly passed on the reduced pattern but that head blushing is amazing!
I have a female that looks like the mums twin lol near enough the same pattern :P

Any new shots of the reduced babie and some better pics of the little one out of the egg?

So, quick update....Another snake has died, a normal..the weird one is still laying inside the egg looking at me, I think it laughs at my misfortune...

I think they know how impatient we are and are staying in their eggs on purpose. :mad:

Great news!! 3 "Normals" and one "Pastel" are almost completely out off their eggs!! Just the little weird one left, still alive though..
