Thanks guys! I've noticed when taking pictures of solid black snakes on a white background, its good to have a splash of color in there to offset the white balance

I’m pretty sure I’ve said this before, but that is just one gorgeous snake. So glossy!

Thank you guys! She just had her post cooling shed, and was successfully paired with my male today! Here are some celebratory pics :D

Time to get the incubator fired up! Cass is sitting in her lay box, during what I presume to be her pre-lay shed! <3 (I do not do waiting lists, deposits, or holds. All babies will be sold first come first serve, to whomever pays first at the time they go up for sale.)

C'mon Cass, you go girl! :sweeet:

Awesome!! Can't wait to see some baby MBKs!!!

Ten HUGE eggs, like. Oh my god these are WAY bigger than last years! Then we have one questionable one that almost looks like a dud but has some red veins so into the incubator it goes :)
https://ball-pythons.net/forums/cach...mz4o1_1280.jpg

Awesome! :w00t::w00t::w00t: The odd one is very likely a dud, but the other 10 are beauties! Congrats!

Congratulations and good luck with the incubation

You were correct, small one was a dud. But I always have to try just in case :P I've seen some weird looking eggs hatch the coolest stuff, haha. The funny shaped one is having a bit of trouble, started growing mold so I separated it from the others and put some goldbond powder on it. Hoping for the best.
Mom is doing well! Back to her old self trying to eat me every other minute. Lol

I thought so, because in the photo it's slimy-looking, whereas the others look "matte" as they should. The texture is a big give-away, but no harm trying. Hoping
for the best on the "odd one" too. Wow, 'mom' sure is gorgeous!

She is gorgeous I agree!
I am still iffy on how the odd egg is, it's not smelly so I am crossing my fingers.
But! I took some awesome pics with her and my coyote skull today :)

I had an MBK, the best disposition I've ever encountered, It was an adult male. I don't know if that is common for this species, or I was lucky?

The only area I wasn't lucky the smell of his poops. The worst smell I've experienced. Not even my 6 ft boa, with larger poops put out a smell that bad!! Again, I don't know if that was unique to mine, or the species?

Cass' babies this year are STELLAR <3
