Miracle clutch

Well i am very surprised this clutch made it,it as been through a tough few months.
1.My new incubator did not work ,so had to send it back.
2.had to leave the eggs with the mother(added coco husks to try and keep humidty up)
3. she laid on top of them(i thought they were smashed)
4.after the storm no power for a few days(tubs temp did move to much since it is summer)
5.Eggs started to grow mold when power cam back on.
But looked in the tub after i feed everyone else,expecting to see the eggs dead.
but surprise! All 8 eggs had piped and 4 babies were out already ,still waiting on the other 4.

better pics after they shed out.
btw pairing was a pastel jungle female and a ghost male,so i believe hey are all het ghost (if i read it correctly on determining hets)
odds werent to good mostly normals and a little small but i am happy that they made it:D

Woohoo, they look great!!! Congrats on the 'miracle,' it's amazing how resilient life can be :)

the mother was a rescue,eating 2 mice a week,took some doing but a got her on rats and she befed up really good.

Yay! Adorable little miracle babies!

thanks everyone,
this is my first clutch(and only clutch this season)i called it my test run to see if i was ready to breed(limited experience with ball pythons)and apparently even if i wasnt they were :)
Probably will never breed her again have better pastels growing out,but she was the only one ready at the start off the season,my other big female just started back eating(had not ate since i got her) recently so she wasnt ready.

Yes, i believe i have 2 pastels and 6 normals,Waiting for two more to come out the eggs but one looks pastel.
See better when they shed out.
thanks everyone for the comments.

2 still have not come out the eggs,one actually looks really tiny.
will just wait it out to see how it goes.

Well all made it except one.
now just waiting on the first shed and after that get them to eat and see how many boys or girls.

this is the last one to come out the egg and its my favorite so far,see how it looks after it sheds out.

How long did it take these guys to pip? I had my own heating troubles with the incubator and we are now a week past day 60 I believe. We lost a few eggs, but everyone else looks good.

61 days
