I cut them...nothing out of the ordinary from what I can tell so far.

Then again, I make only small incisions to assure the snake can emerge safely. I can't really see much of the snake's pattern. All I can see now is that there is movement in all of the eggs. I will post pics once they emerge.

Good luck

They are all out of the eggs...well, all but one. 1 of the 5 never emereged from the eggs once I cut them on day 53. Once the other 4 emerged with no problem I checked the 5th one out a little closer and it never went full-term. It looked as if development came to a halt a few weeks ago...it was the first time I have ever had an egg not go full-term.

As for the others...

They all appear normal...sort of. Their color and pattern are not as dynamic as their father's...but there is some of the unique color and pattern in there. They all look about the same...it would been alot of easier if there were two distinctive looking type of hatchlings in the clutch.

So...either he [the father] is nothing more than a unique-looking normal..

or

He is something special and just missed out this time...or lucked out and they are something subtle.

I am going with they are all normals. However, I am going to wait to post pics until they have their first shed.

No cinnis???

Nope...that clutch was just dropped...it still has about 55 days to go. :)

This clutch was just a Normal x Dinker.

Well....3 of the 4 shed last night...so I snapped some quick pictures. I was hoping for something a little more. If there is anything going on with these guys...it's subtle.

Nothing special...but here they are. I got 2.2 from the clutch and will post pics of the other female once she sheds. For what it's worth, the stillborn did not resemble these guys pattern-wise at all...a but more reduced. It is what it is... I cinnamon clutch the dinker sired due to pip at the end of July...so I am hoping for something unusual from that one.

I am in the middle of moving so much of my stuff is in storage...this includes my photo tent. So I ended up shooting outside under sunny skies.

For anyone who may be following this thread...here is the last to shed. She has some nice blushing/flames like her dad..that's about it.

Shot outside with a dirty lens...but you get the idea.

Interesting that none look like dad, hopefully his trait carries over in the cinnie girls eggs.

Nice pick up for a "normal" :)
