And now its my turn...!

This girl went 29 days post shed...this is my first ball python clutch ever, and I'm so stoked!

She was bred to my pastel.

This is also probably the crappiest pic I've ever posted as well, I lost the memory card to my camera, so I had to use the cell phone...

8 good eggs, 1 slug. I got this girl last year from a guy who had her for 8 years as a pet, so this is probably her first clutch too.

This countdown is going to kill me!

Cool, Brad, congratulations! That is awesome!

Congrats!! :)


Here's to many,many baby pastels. :carouse:


Are you going to let her incubate or brave the mad mother to get them? :D

Thanks Adam!

All kidding aside, I don't think I'd be at this point without your generosity, help, and guidance. You should charge by the hour bro!

:rockon:

Right on Brad! I hope you get some lil ones that look like dad ;)

Congrats Brad. Nice clutch size to start the season with. I too am hoping for plenty of females for you. Mom looks kind of shy on those eggs. I would bet she was a gentle girl coming off of them. Not a bad phone pic either.

Awesome Brad!!! Congrats on the clutch!!! :rockon:

I think she had just finished laying when I got to her, she hissed a little bit but otherwise didn't put up much of a fight. Her overall disposition has always been extremely laid back anyway, so it was all good.

I have a LG Chocolate phone. Camera is so-so, but its the worst thing I've ever spent money on. The touch screen kills me on a daily basis.

Agreed, that phone blows. I still have my old school nokia brick cuz i cant find anything i like better.

Alright....just an update...good news and bad-ish news...

I candled the eggs tonight. 7 of them have very nice, easy to see vein structures within the egg.

There was one egg that has a little 'window' on it...unfortunately, that egg did not show any veins that I could see.

We'll see how it goes I guess! I'm still happy, though.

Anyone have any experience with the 'windowed' eggs?

Are we going to get a daily update on your eggs? :)

Just kidding buddy!

Dude...I didn't even take a picture of them before shoving them in the bator...this was the last time I mess with them for a while! :cens0r::cens0r::cens0r::cens0r:!

They're white today.

I had a couple eggs last season that had very weak veins, I couldn't see them when I candled them shortly after being laid, but I was able to see the veins when I candled them a week later. Both ended up going full term with no issues, though both hatchlings were a little on the smaller side. The windows themselves usually cause no real problems as far as I know. I did have one window egg that grew mold on the window area, but still hatched normally. Hopefully yours will go full term!
