What you see isn't always what you get
So I bred a lesser male to a CH female..She gave me 3 egg's one infertile. On day 55+/- I clipped egg's
Egg #1 Normal
Egg #2 Lesser
Egg #3..:O what the hell is that thing

Well I called around I emailed pics to everyone I knew.. everyone told me the same thing.."WAIT TILL IT COMES OUT"
A few days later I open the bator and it has crawled out dragging it's entire yolk with it :rage::rage::rage:
So I snatched it up put it in a moist Tupperware bowl on paper and waited.
Sunday night it was looking weak and not doing so well.:(:(
Monday morning I checked.. It wasn't breathing and was limp.. Damn it died. :tears::tears::tears: I was late for work so I tossed it back in the bator I wanted some Pics before I got rid of the body.
Come home last night AFTER TELLING EVERYONE IT HAD DIED open the tub...low and behold 99.995% of all it's yolk was gone and it was moving and breathing even balling up, even peed on me..
So here she is now that she's gotten some nutrition and seems to be doing way better..It's still touch and go but I have good hopes for this one.

Yea as far as I know it's just a Lesser..those pics are of the same snake now.. It's amazing how much they can change even over the course of a day or two..

Re: What you see isn't always what you get
Aww, she (or he) is beautiful! Congratulations on her, I hope she fully absorbs the yolk and grows up to be a beautifully healthy snake :D

Re: What you see isn't always what you get
Congrats! The pattern on that lesser is awesome. Good thing you didn't throw it out.

Re: What you see isn't always what you get
beautiful babies! happy for you... Don`t you just love the babies!!?? :)

Re: What you see isn't always what you get
She/he is amazing! The pattern is just exceptional. I am so glad it absorbed its yolk for you. Keeping my fingers crossed that it will do well for you!

Re: What you see isn't always what you get
Awesome...keep us posted!

Re: What you see isn't always what you get
She is B-E-A-utiful. I'm just glad you decided to wait to ship her to me Ed. I'm in no hurry, once she has had a meal or two you can send her.;)

Re: What you see isn't always what you get
What I have noticed is that the runts tend to have amazing colors. This looks like a Runt Lesser. She'll be a stunner when she gets older :)

Re: What you see isn't always what you get
Very cool ED, nice work :gj:
-
Re: What you see isn't always what you get
The one runt I raised was also a total brat, temperament-wise, though. She certainly has a gorgeous pattern! Hope she does well for you!
My runt seemed week and I was worried about her, but after her first shed, she gained strength on her own, and she took her first meal without any problem a few days later. I did give her a mouse crawler. :) So, if yours seems weak and shaky at first, don't worry too hard--just give her a while.

Re: What you see isn't always what you get
Awwww! She is so beautiful! Congrats on her and I'm really glad she made it!

Re: What you see isn't always what you get
Holy Hannah!!
She's gorgeous. :wuv:
It looks like her pattern is on stilts. :D

Re: What you see isn't always what you get
What an amazing little baby!!
I am so glad she's doing better for you. I can't imagine going from high to low to high again like that.
By the way, if she continues to get better and you find yourself in need of a home for her, add mine to the list. ;)

Re: What you see isn't always what you get
She looks really pink for a lesser. Is it because she's a little malnourished? I think she's gorgeous! We need pics of the whole clutch!!

Re: What you see isn't always what you get
Congrats! That's a great looking lesser!
Hope it pulls through! Keep us updated!

Re: What you see isn't always what you get
That is sweet! Nice save Ed!!

You know with this being not only my first group of lessers to hatch but also my first time dealing with distressed animals I'm not sure really if it's all of that or if it's just her..time will tell
