Sorry the pics are low quality, its hard getting a good pic of it because of the coloring of him/her.

phew...THAT is gorgeous! congrats! :gj:
sorry you had bad luck with the other hatchlings.

Beautiful!!!

We had 2 hypos hatch out as well, but they both only have one eye :( not sure what happened with that. They are beautiful anyway, and we are extremely happy with this pearl!

Were they just missing one eye or were they cyclopses?

I had a friend that had a 14ft burm that was born with one eye. Just had a scale over the place were the eye should be, doesnt seem to effect the snake at all! Interesting though.

What is that Heather ?

A Burmese ?

Whatever it is, I have never seen one so beautiful. It gives those expensive four gene ball pythons a run for their money.

I am sorry you had bad news with your clutch, one of the less pleasant aspects of breeding any animal. However a huge congratulations on this amazing baby. Tell me, have you ever seen one of these as an adult ? Do they keep these colors, or change the way most ball pythons hatchlings do as they age ?

Yes it is a burm. I haven't seen one as an adult, so I'm not sure how much they change. I will definitely keep updates on this one though :)

Did you euthanize them?
I hope not, because I know their quality of life doesnt seem to be compromised. As evidence of the burm I personally know with his one eye. :)

I would LOVE to see pictures of your little one eyed beauties.

Hypo 2

I couldn't get their "cute eyeless' side, since they want to keep an eye on you ( no pun intended ).

Heres my boyfriend and I (my friend is helping but not in the photo much lol) with the one eyed big boy!

I dont know anything about prices but what would a morph like that go for?

We bought our hypo pair for a grand. I believe they are going for about $500-$600.

Oh ok well thats not too bad. ( Knowing what Ive spent on bps lol) I suppose the market might be a bit smaller for giants vs. something like a ball python?
I respect those giants SO much.
Do you have a gallery or a former post showing off your big guys? I would love to see!

WOW! That hatchling is stunning! Sorry for the issues with your other two and the loss of some of that clutch. Congratulations on what did hatch out though, wow to all three of them! :O

No I don't, so I think tomorrow I'll make a thread of the big babes for you tomorrow :)

:D OOOH sweet! I will look forward to that for sure!

This makes me almost think I'd rather have a burm than a retic if I were ever lucky enough to own a giant, BEAUTIFUL animal :gj:

Oh man that is a beautiful snake! I gotta get me one! Where does it end? Balls, Bloods, Boas, Burms I want em all!!!!

How did I know this was coming? ;)

Anyways, they're beautiful. They're so cute when they're that small!

Oh my gosh Heather! You have so many beautiful snakes! Congratulations on those beautiful little hatchlings. :gj: I wish wish wish I could have a burm...because I love one eyed baby snakes. lol. Maybe one day...:rolleyes: But until then, I will continue to drool over your gorgeous snakeys! :D
