immaculate birth (Parthenogenesis)

more pictures soon, the second one is out!!!!!!

looks fat and sassy,

question? there is a small red ball of tissue that is on the paper towel next to the snake, is this the umbilicus?

after looking at the second baby for a while she seems like her skin is dry? anyone heard of this or know what the root cause is?

Hi,

Are you keeping the babies enclosures humid till they have absorbed all the yolk etc? You dont want it wet but definately humid.

The first skin is very thin and delicate so if the tub is a little to dry that may be what your seeing.

Ok... I know I'm being a pest... but how are they???:oops:

AND WHERE ARE THOSE PIX??? :D

Put the babies on soppy paper towels until they have their first shed. They need to stay moist until then.

MORE PICS!!! PLEASE:) (hows that for being a pest;)) Seriously though, I am itching to see how these wee ones are doing!!

Hello
I found this forum looking for information on parthenogenesis
because it has just happened to my snake
and what do you know
I found someone who it has just happened to
in the same city as me

My ball has just layed her eggs today (probably last night)
I didn't even know she was a girl
she hasn't had any contact with another snake in about 10 years
I haven't been able to candle the eggs yet
so I don't know if they are fertile or not
I'm going to let her sit on them untill i know for sure

Imagine that... two in one season... and in the same city nonetheless. I mean what are the odds?

Seriously, what are the odds?
:confused:

I guess God said "Let there be Ball Pythons!" Because of this newfound belief, I am going to edit my wifes bibles. I hope she doesn't mind...

Yes.. if they had low moisture in the egg, they will look/be dry when they hatched. I have seen pics of hatchlings that looked nearly dehydrated! Like Becky said above; soppy paper towels in a shoebox Rubbermaid tub will help.
