well the turd fairy strikes again! one of the babies tried to leave the egg and has died, just went out to check and he/she was dead!! the umbillus was all tied up and was dead, aarrgghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!

I am seriously not liking my life at the mo!!!!

the other is still sitting there with his/her nose poking out!!!!!



Peter

Sooo cute...whenever I see pics of baby snakes hatching, I turn to mush.

one word... WOW

So sorry to hear about another loss, Peter. :hug: Hang in there, man.

Oh Peter how awful. I remember something Ralph Davis wrote about how breeding snakes can sometimes just break your heart and the man was right on the button there. So sorry about another loss but hang in there and we'll all pray for the other little one to exit the egg safe and sound.

the thing is I keep my animals very well, the eggs are incuabted in a poly box but I have done for years! it just seems like this year I am destined for nothing but charlie romeo alpha pappa!

thanks all for your kind words!

if i saw a guy who had lost a female boa, then lost a baby king, I would be concerned over how the animals were beign kept!! luckily u lot I think know how much time and care I give all my charges!!!


Peter

Don't be so hard on yourself, Peter. Even the guys that look like they "have it all together" have heartbreaking losses sometimes. It's very enlightening to read through Ralph's (RDR's) breeding records because he lays it all out there in public view. And he has had many highly anticipated clutches that all went bad. But of course, he's had tons of success as well...because he just keeps keepin' on!

=( Sorry to hear you lost a baby, Peter...but boy that other is just TOO cute!

The karma comes around...the snake gods are being mean to you, which means they must have something special planned for you coming up. =)

OK well the little one is out now! As u can see by the pics he/she has a stunning red head and is quite plump, which is a huge comparison to the one that died earlier as that was very thin!

anyway here's a couple of quick pics!!

Oh, my- she is just gorgeous!!! Sorry about this loss man. You haven't been having the best luck this year, but I think things will turn around for you. :hug:

Couple of quick pics since I had to change the paper due to over soaking of water by the wee knob!

Anyone think the red on the head looks like a pair of demon wings???

So names please of male and female demons with red wings LOL





Peter

Oh how cute, it's so chubby it's like a wee pork sausage about to burst it's casing! I'm so glad Peter that this one is obviously doing so well for you.....congrats!

Watch the movie "legend" don't know the names from the film, but thats what the little wings remind me of. What a looker!!! Great movie too!!

First thing I thought of actually was Pheonix. Something about wings and fire and all that. What a gorgeous snake and that head coloration is just stunning!

Aricia: Princess of the royal blood of Athens
Donovan: Dark Warrior
Adrian: Dark One.
Kali: Energy; dark goddess
Hadrian: Dark One.* I love this name, by the way.
Garnet: Self explanatory? Red Gem.
Ruby/Rubi: Again...self explanatory?
Scarlet: O_O
Brandeis: "Dweller on a burned clearing."

I'll post s'more later. -Nods to this.-

Peter that is one beautiful snake, how is it doing now?
Penney

Just beautiful...just beautiful....and the head pattern on that lil tucker is neato!!!! you did a great job!

very cute! sorry to hear about your loss, but your gain is gorgeous!!!!!
