2017 Candino/ Albino clutch.

Well, they all are just about done emerging from their eggs except for two from this five egg clutch. Sadly, there was one egg that went bad very late in the incubation and was located at the bottom of the clutch with three other eggs attached to it. Over the past two weeks the egg appeared to get several areas of poor calcification and discoloration. The discoloration just progressed and eventually covered the whole egg. I wasn't able to access it as it was on the bottom of the clutch with three other eggs attached to it. Another hatchling remains in the egg at this point. I believe there are two Candinos and 1 albino at this point.https://ball-pythons.net/gallery/fil...ge_257421.jpeg

The top one I believe is albino, they are both females.https://ball-pythons.net/gallery/fil...ge_878034.jpeg

This is the same hatchling in pic #1 but a better look at this head stamp.https://ball-pythons.net/gallery/fil...ge_998637.jpeg

Thanks Still, it's really perplexing about the hatchling that didn't survive. It was absolutely fine up until 2 weeks ago when these things started to happen. Temps and humidity were all stable with no issues at all throughout. Makes me think it was genetic in some way.

Yea I hate loosing a hatchling it's hard. And I know that feeling all too well. At least you got a few good ones out of the clutch.

Thanks zina. I wonder if the darker hatchlings may be high contrast albino/ candinos? 2 females, 2 males.

Not sure, but love them !! Love contrast on the Albinos and their combos :)

Possibly Albino? I'm pretty sure that's an Albino ;) hehe..

Sorry about the one lost but beautiful snakes :gj:

Ok, now I'm confused..

Isn't a Candino an albino plus something more ? So would the hatchling in the last picture not be at least an albino but possible a candino ?

Obviously I do not know my albino morphs :(

All I know is that those hatchlings are all very beautiful!!

. Thx. Yeah, it was totally unexpected and I was unable to do anything to remedy the presentation without risking the health of the three other eggs.

. Right you are. Candino is 100% het Candy and 100% het Albino. Albino and Candino can be hard to differentiate as hatchlings and need time for coloration to present as well as the Candinos darker ruby eye color. Thanks for weighing in though. :D

I didn't have much useful input other then yup...that's an Albino (at the minimum) My own hatchlings confused me at first, so I'm sure no expert on this. Whatever they will end up being, they are beautiful already [emoji6]

How much does the runt weigh out of curiosity? I honestly can't tell hatchling albino from candinos either but they're all great looking! Sorry about the lost one.

You might be surprised. Candino's don't start getting their color until after a shed or two. Until then they look like nice albinos

Not so. I just had a clutch of four hatch out from an AlbinoWoma x Candino and I could ID the Candinos straight out of the egg

Hey HL, thanks. Runty weighed 52 gms. He was the last to take a meal too. But they all downed young adult mice. No hoppers for these guys and gals. :O I was impressed for sure.
