    Mystery eggs
    First off let me state that I was sure my season was over.
    Went to the youngwood Reptile show today to pick up my rat order. Got home and was cleaning and feeding my snakes when I got a very nice surprise

    Mid August last season I traded one of my male BP's for a breeder black pastel female. She came in emaciated. I didn't think she was going to survive but after a few get trips and some several successful feedings she began to look like a snake again.
    I didn't pair her this season because of the shape she came to me in. I wanted her to have a full season to recover from her ordeal.
    Well she didn't want the season off I guess as she laid 5 eggs today. I have a beautiful clutch of mystery babies comming

    I would get a bigger container personally. You donmt want the eggs touching the edges of the tub. Gratz on the eggs though!

    They are in one. I just put them in the one I just hatched out to get theirs set up

    Can't you ask who you traded with what she was last paired with? I'd be mad if someone traded me an emaciated animal. I've also bought a surprise gravid female that hadnt been paired since her previous clutch so it was just retained sperm but i just asked the person i got her from what combos were a possibility.

    I did and they said she wasn't paired last season. So I only have what she was paired to 2 years ago. And yes I wasn't happy about her condition and it wasn't just her either both animals I got from her if turned in would have landed her in jail. So I suppose I'll just have to wait till they hatch. I still worry about my boy she has.

    Is it someone local? Id be concerned about the future condition of the male you gave her too. I'd just hope she was correct and go by what the female laid previously.

    No she was in Iowa. And yes. I'm very concerned about the male I sent her. But I've told her on numerous occasions that if she can't feed him I'll buy him back. He's still my baby after all

    Makes it fun right 😉. Of course with my luck she was paired with a normal or a recessive

    So they hatched today. Definitely didn't get great odds 4 normal and 1 black pastel. If my toffino got the clutch they could all be hets. So who knows.
    Pics coming when I get home tonight

    Knew that this one had black pastel. Looking at him now that I have time thinking maybe gargoyle. Obviously I'm not making any calls until they come out. But doesn't look just black pastel to mehttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...76398fba42.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...35d7e814e9.jpg

    3 of the 4 normal that hatched. The 4th had a few issues and I don't want to disturb him until he's doing better. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...204b30a32c.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...59dba66427.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...34a3812a55.jpg

    First two are out. Boy and girl normal. Both are really good sized babies. The male weighs 75g the girl was 82g. And the big one is still in the egg. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...e2daf1e730.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...9d93767198.jpg

    Re: Mystery eggs
    Last two are out. Both girls. The big normal was 93g out of the egg. And I could really use opinions on the black pastel. Onyx? Or not. I really don't know what she was paired with. But that pattern is too wonky for just black pastelhttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...5e520da40c.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...0c94b871f2.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...a65b4360d1.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...a0433e17eb.jpg

    I just see three black pastels and a normal imo. The colour does not match an onyx's colour.

    Well that is a picture with a flash on. I'll get good pictures after they shed out. But you could be right. The 3 pictures are all the same snake. Was trying to show the odd pattern. As I said I have absolutely no clue what she was paired with. She spent one night with my toffino by accident and I never saw a lock. So I'm seriously doubting he's the dad
