So sorry my friend, theres always next year! :eek:

Man thats rough!
Hope she does better next time.

First year girl...or just bad luck? Hopefully that will bring you better karma for clutches to come, especially when it comes to those ratios. Better luck to the rest of the season bro.

Man that sucks. sorry to hear that.

Sorry to hear that Chris. Maybe Karma has something else in store for ya though! :hug:

Aww, Chris, I'm so sorry :(
I'd say karma owes you a lot more, if I was a karma kinda gal.

My sympathies. Hope your other projects bring you great snakes. Total bummer, fires rock.

Awww Chris I'm so sorry. I know these things happen but you certainly deserved better and I'm sure good things are coming this year for you. :hug:

Dang bro. That SUCKS. Karma definitely has something greater in mind for you, just wait and see.

Chris, I'm so sorry to hear that! I agree with Tim, karma has something bigger in mind for you! :hug:

Thank you all for the kind words :grouphug:


My life is actually filled to the brim with everything I could ever want. I was just so excited about this clutch and slightly let down to see slugs. Today is a bright new happy day and she just had her first post lay meal :D

aawww cue :groinkick that royally bites the big one!!!!!!!!!!! I would not be taking it as well as you seem to be - but the feeding is a plus anyways.

Tim, wasn't it you that had that sad loss of the baby albino but then went on to prove out not 1 but 3 possible het Axanthic females? I always keep that in mind when I think about crap happening but great things being just around the bend. :)

Aww Chris. I am so sorry to hear. I'm sure that the next clutch will be all good. :hug: Keep your chin up cowboy.

Man that sux Chris :( I was probably almost as excited as you to see some healthy eggs from this girl. Karma owes you now, just wait....

-Evan

Youch! Sorry to hear about that dude! Don't loose heart, I'm sure the "the wheel" has something better stored for you in the future.

Oh no! :tears: You definitely deserved better, but at least she's a healthy female that will go on to produce again. I hope you have better luck with your other clutches. :blowkiss:

Sorry to hear that dude. Bummer!

Great outlook, Cue! I'm glad to hear she's doing well. Everything balances out, so you're bound to have some great karma coming your way. :sunny:

Cue, sorry to steal your thread, but I thought an answer to Jo was appropriate. Yes Jo, My Albino male bred my Het Albino female. We got seven eggs. One egg went bad in about a week. You ould think that from the remaining six (per the odds), we would get 3 Albinos and 3 Hets. We did not. We got 1 deformed, dead Albino and 5 Het male Albinos. That clutch was horrid. But, Karma turned around and we proved out 3 Poss. Het Axanthic females with a final count of 4.5 Axanthics and 7.6 Het Axanthics. The Ball Gods work in mysterious ways. I know Cue will get something big out of this. If anyone deserves it, it is CUE!

I am really sorry, Cue. You definately don't deserve this.. I know how it feels to have an entire clutch slowly die and go bad before my eyes.. sorry about this. I hope that your other breeding females give you some better results though. :)

what else you got in the oven cue?

Cue that sucks a big one! Beautiful girl too. :)

Cue, she'll pull through for ya next year. At least you have a good outlook. :rockon:

I think this should be a lesson for all of us... quit stealing candy from babies and maybe we'll all get some viable eggs!!! lol

Yeah, it's tragic... I'm on my second year with my albino and 4 girls... still nothing. I think he's gay. I saw him slithering over a pair of leather chaps. Still don't know how those got in there...

Thanks Tim, I thought my memory was right on that. Chris I hope like Tim's experience, you get a very good surprise after such a disheartening experience. You have a wonderful attitude though my friend and can put this in it's proper perspective.

Sorry Cue. I hope you get a few more clutches from him.

Are you expecting any more? If so all girlies could help ease the pain. larry

Thank you all for the kind words!

Everything has a silver lining though. I learned that by not taking the advice to completely and properly cool this female I most likely caused her to ovulate too early. Now I know and hopefully others will learn from my mistake. I will make a more formal post about this and my findings. Using ultrasound I had a strong idea of what was to come so I was slightly prepared. Still a bummer since I was looking forward to incubation and pipping of baby ball pythons :(

I might still have a chance for eggs this season and will certainly cross my fingers for better results. I was blessed with fantastic babies last year so I have had my turn already :)

You have a great attitude to these things and I look forward to reading the article.


In the meantme I am sending every possible positive vibe I can lay my grubby little mits on to ya. :grouphug:

Cue, as everyone else has said so well, that sucks and you deserve it. I don't know if I could have such a good outlook as you do; but then again, you have always impressed me with your caring and generousity. Good luck on your other breedings!

Now you know that I left out the word "don't" in that sentence . . . however, if the way it came out made you smile then I'm OK with that! :D

Awwww! No fire babies.:sniff: I bet you will get lots of fires and lucys and jungle fires, and pastles, jungles and what not this year. Fa' Sho'.:gj:

Sorry to hear that Chris :( hopefully you get treated better on some other clutches...
