They're pipping

Glad to see they all made it out ok. All look beautiful and I'm glad to hear they're all healthy. Congrats on a nice looking first clutch.

Here's a thread about popping. Post #7 has a very good description of the process: http://ball-pythons.net/forums/showt...=1#post2119552

Awesome Jordan! Those cinnies are hottt!

Congrats on your first clutch Jordan! Too bad on the odds, but still exciting nonetheless!!

sent from my incubator

I don't mind the odds I got. Almost 50/50. Going to find out the sex of them tonight.

Well I got them sexed. I have 2.2 cinnamon and 3.2 normals.

Which of the cinnies are females??

Cool, basically textbook for that pairng and incubation temp. The normal babies will eventually throw 25% cinnamon babies if bred to another normal, so that's cool too. I'm hoping for a 50/50 male/female mix with my clutch too......that is if the darned, durn eggs ever hatch, (58 days today, no pip yet). Waiting for these eggs to hatch is worse than watching paint dry. Congratulations!

The bold text is what concerns me...normal babies from a cinnamon x normal pairing will NEVER make cinnamons. Perhaps you should go back and learn some genetics before you continue breeding.....

I saw the same thing earlier.

I'm sure you're right. I'm a retired electrical technician, so genetics wasn't something I had to study, and I readily admit my deficiencies in all things Mendel, (I can talk a mean Ohm though). So, would that be true of a recessive trait also? I think I remember seeing that percentage pop up on one of the calculators I was playing around with, but I may have been looking at recessive traits.
Thanks for the clarification.

It's alright. I'm horrible at any thing physics related!

If you bred a het to another het, you'll get statistically 25% visual recessives. Since cinnamon is codominant, a cinnamon x normal will statistically give you 50% cinnamons and 50% normals.

That sounds familiar and must have been what I had looked at, that's why I asked about recessives. For some reason I get balled up with some of the terms used in genetics. Why I find the subject harder to understand than electronics, (ie; physics), I have no idea. Keeping track of those alleles makes me cross-eyed. Thanks,

The 80 gram cinnamon is a female. She's the one I will keep.
