my first hatchling ever

Wow, that is just too awesome for words! Good luck with everything.

the parents are 100% het x 100% het.
i was trying since last nov to get her pregnant but no luck...or so i thought.
id pretty much given up by May when i hadnt seen eggs yet but kept trying them together to see if they would still lock up.
july 15 she was lookin pretty big even though she refused food since the end of may and she shed- i had my fingers crossed and marked it down.
aug 12 i had just gotten home and peeked in at her cause i was pretty sure she had eggs and was close to laying although i didnt wanna get my hopes up again, when i looked in there was en egg!
there ended up being 7 and i let her incubate them partly cause i didnt have an incubator big enough i trusted and i had read recently that we dont put enough trust into the momma snake- theyve been incubating there own eggs for as long as there have been snakes around and weve ben doing it for a few decades.She is there 24/7 to keep them perfect every second,no oops they dried out or darn they were too humid and went bad.
i made a back up incubator just incase though but didnt need it. :)
when i got home from work last night she was lookin at me which she hasnt done for the last 2 months being wrapped around the eggs so close.
i peeked in and saw a pink head sticking straight up from an egg.
took me a second to process what i was seeing then i was trying to find someone to tell- being midnight everyone was asleep here.
as of right now there are 3 eggs pipped the albino and 2 66% het albinos :D
they seem to be hatching backwards to how they were laid with the last egg hatching first.

congrats ! thats fantastic! i cant wait to see picsof them all!

Hope the rest are albinos. GOOD LUCK!!

well i caught the momma around the waterbowl instead of the eggs so i took the chance and put her in a seperate home and gave her a nice rat which she ate almost right away.then i decided id try slitting the last 3 eggs that hasnt pipped to see whos inside- total is 4 albinos and 3 possible hets!!!
i didnt even dream id get that many!!!
i will post a pic as soon as they are all out of there eggs!!
i feel like a kid at christmas!


a very excited
