My first hatchling ever!!

Hey Guys,

So I just had my first clutch ever start pipping, and my first hatchling EVER came out of its egg!! :D

The pairing was pastel het. TSK axanthic to a normal het. TSK axanthic.

I'm pretty sure this guy is just a pastel, but the silverish coloration on it's sides are making me consider the double gene.

What do you guys think?

I can't help, but congratulations!

Thanks!! I'm super excited!! hahahaha I'm all giddy :D

the flash throws off the color. You need to take pictures in natural light with no flash!

Lol, get near a window!

woooooot! :taz::banana:

It looks like a light pastel to me. Axanthic babies are silver and black when born, no yellow on them. I don't think the pastel gene would cause some yellow to appear so much as it would lighten the silver color.

Yep, thats a Pastel. Once they shed its alot easier to tell. Goodluck on the rest of the eggs!

Hey Guys,

#2 is out!! What do you make of this. My first impression is normal but seeing as how I've never hatched out any snakes before, is it normal for them to have two different colors. The spine is almost yellow but it's sides are brownish.

Thanks everyone!!

ahh ok lol good to know :) oh well still happy lol it's my first clutch lol :D

Isnt it exciting when that happens??? I got to finally see one of my babies emerge from the egg last summer! Ive always missed "the emergence". I called it "butterball" to identify it as the first butter outta the egg....in about two weeks, little "Butterball" will be celebrating her 1st b-day....almost 900g too!

Oh man is it ever! I was seriously considering selling my whole collection, but after this experience I think I might be hooked for life!!

OMG...when I see noses poking outta eggs...be they normal or be they banana-pied-hypo-clown-superstripe, I just squeeee all over the place!!! So exciting when the babies come!

I see a pastel and a normal.
Good Job hatching healthy babies!!

Lol! You should see the video on my facebook page! Me and my buddy sounded like total goobers but its just so cool and cute at the same time! Congrats dude! It is the coolest thing ever!

Yeah, it has too much yellow to be an axanthic. It's really cool though, definitely a unique pastel. I'm interested in seeing a picture of it in different lighting. Like the lighting you look the picture of the normal in ;) The normal is really awesome too.

Whatever morph, a big congrats for you!

That's definitely some odd coloring! I'd be keeping that one!

I think the heat might have been a little high on them in the incubator for a little bit when the temps changed in the weather, went up to 93 in the incubator for a bit, it doesn't seem like they have any neurological issues but cool blushing on them, even in the normals are pretty cool :D. Not that I recommend cooking your eggs hot, I just wonder if it's had an effect on their colors. Mom and dad are very low quality.

That's dad and mom is just a normal, nothing special - medium color not light and not overly dark.

Okay 3rd one is out lol! The one that came out first is the pastel that's intertwined with the normal in the pic. The silverish colour fadded and it's almost a peach now so I think I am looking at a lower quality pastel but the other guy that just came out looks goregous IMO which Im surprised because dad doesn't look very good at all.

The hatchlings are actually brighter than they show up in the picture.

What do you guys think about the one that's on it's own in the picture. How much brown out do you guys think I should expect? I would like to keep a nice pastel to breed to a spinner if I get one out of my next clutch (spider x pin) but I don't want to waste money feeding him if he's gonna turn out the same quality as his pop.

Thanks for everyone's input!!

That one looks okay. Wait till after they shed thn put more pics up, the color is different after they have their official snake skin on.

congrats
