    blackhead x phantom update
    Woke up to find her shifting around and just start laying! I think she has 2 out and I only felt a few in there when I gently checked last. This is the snake I bought a few months ago and ovulated shortly after that hadn't been paired since her clutch last year so I wasn't expecting much from retained sperm and still anxious to see if they're fertile. The one I saw coming out here looks good but others felt much smaller so we'll see!

    Well this is disappointing but kinda what I expected. I think I'll give her the next year off and get her weight way up. She was just under 1600g when I got her a few months ago and is down to 1200 now empty.

    Sadly it happens and next year she might give you 10 eggs who knows.

    Yep I stuck the one egg in the incubator. It has a bit of a "nipple" you can see towards the right side but fingers crossed it holds up.

    Good luck! My friend got only *one* good egg out of a double het albino pied to double het albino pied and that one little egg held a perfect little albino pied despite all the odds!

    Nice! I'm fully expecting it to be a normal so I don't set myself up to be disappointed.

    To bad there is only 1 good egg but at least you got one and with a bit of luck it is a Blackhead or even a Blackhead Phantom!

    I had a female lay 4 slugs one year and the next laid 7 good eggs. I'll keep my fingers crossed for a Black Head Phantom from the good egg!

    Well, congrats first! I don't really see the nipple on the good egg. In any case, they say special things come out of boob eggs. I had a small boob on one egg in my pied clutch and she was the first out of that egg and was the heaviest at the scale. Keep my fingers crossed for you. Good job.

    Thanks for the well wishes! I've had a nasty stomach bug so I still haven't gotten around to candling it. The good egg was 90g so not too bad. If it isn't a normal and I decide to keep it I feel that it needs to be named Bogo.

    Finally got around to checking and looks like I should have a bouncing baby Bogo at the end of next month!
