sayi eggs

I've been waiting for this girl to pop with her first clutch. She's more of a rusty red and I'm hoping for some nice holdbacks. Was paired with a beautiful red albino male.

I'll get some updated shots of the male sometime but until then, here they are:http://i839.photobucket.com/albums/z...s/DSC03631.jpg

10 eggs, not too shabby for a 3 year old youngster.

Very nice. Good luck with them. :-)

This girl decided to double clutch but unfortunately most of the second group were slugs. She managed to produce three decent looking, if a bit smaller, eggs and nine slugs. I buried the slugs in my tegu enclosure so Boon can have an old fashioned nest raid when he goes on the prowl tomorrow.

The original clutch on the left, day 46, and the new eggs on the right. Hoping to see my first sayi pippers in the next week or two.

Starting to get some pippers as of last night - day 67. Of the original 10, 8 are still looking great and I fully expect them to hatch. I lost one within the first couple weeks and the second went bad within the last two weeks. Eggs spent most days at ~82F with the highest temperature reached being 84F, dropped down to 78F most nights with the lowest being 77F. Basically their "incubation" method involved chucking them in a tub and tossing it on a shelf to be forgotten for a couple months.

Congrats, I love bullsnakes. Can't wait to see them out.

Bit more action from these today.

Looks like you have quite a few albinos in there.

It looked like my first 3 pippers were albino. Then as they are busy shredding their eggs from the inside out a little red het shot out of its single, tiny opening like some kind of super hero on a mission. Shortly after 2 of the ablinos emerged. I managed a few rushed pictures just before a thunderstorm rolled in and will get better ones, weather permitting, when they shed. It's funny how fast they go from "I will eat your face" to "let's be friends" at this stage. Anyway, here are the first 3 out, 2 red albinos and a red het albino.

Seems there are some bonus genetics in my parent snakes. They still haven't shed yet but you can still see there is some type of hypo/ghost gene at play in about half of the snakes. Maybe my male albino is a double visual recessive but the second gene was masked by albino and the female is a double het? I'm not well versed in bull morphs so opinions are more than welcome.

Those look great, definitely hets, hypos and albinos. They're little spaz's at that age but a lot of fun.

Definitely a hoot and a half. As soon as I enter the snake room I can hear the little spitfires. Most of their strikes fall short though and even those that don't are too tiny to draw blood.

Half of these already ate before shedding out but now they're enjoying their new skins and have been sexed - thought I'd do a final update.
