My babies have all hatched :)

Hi,

One of them kept me waiting but finally all six are out. :banana: :banana: :banana:

And the odd thing is they have really wierd patterns compared to their parents. :weirdface

Do you think any of them are odd enough to hold back as dinkers? I had planned on only keeping one male from the clutch but then I didn't expect semi-blackback or granitey markings either. :confused:

Numbers 3 and 4 also have quite clean belly's - thought not morph clean.

If you think I should keep any would you mind telling me which ones and why?

Here they are in the order they hatched.

And this is the hatchling from the egg I dropped while candling for cutting - so far he doesn't seem to have harboured a grudge. :gj:

I am loving #4, thats what I call reduced!! Very nice!

YES,

#4 is smoking man!

Awesome Congrats!

If I could only keep one I would definitely keep #4! That black back and reduced pattern looks awesome.

:weirdface I think mom was bumpin' it the black-back mailman :D

Smokin clutch -- congrats! :banana::banana::banana:

I was also going to say I'd keep #4 as well - I like the black back and speckling in the pattern!

Sorry, but that made me LOL :)

I think number 4 should come live with me! What a keeper IMO!

Well not to be redundant or anything, but I have to say I'm loving number four. Of course I think you need to keep Bouncer as well. :yes:

Great clutch Derek! I love the speckling!

:gj:

Absolutely - you owe it to that little one! :D

4 AND 5. if you took a pic of #5 the same as #4 i bet everyone would like them almost the same. IMO

nah don't keep #4.. send it to me instead lol

i agree w/ bimmer tho, #5 is just as nice as #4!

love #4.:)

i say keep numba 4 and breed he/she back to mom to see if its genetic?

#4 is smokin'...no doubt about it! #'s 5 and 6 are also pretty amazing. And what's up with #3? Was that picture taken under different lighting circumstances? Or is that snake's color really that different from its clutchmates???

Be kinda hard to breed back to mom if it's a "she". :rofl: :P

I was thinking the same thing about #3. I don't know if it's the lighting, but the color is great. I think they're all lovely, but I guess #3,5, & 6 are my favorites.

Congrats!

Hi,

Well number 4 definately seems to be winning.

Number 5 has a lot more alien eyes but the back pattern seems better - I knew I'd have problems getting rid of anything I hatched. :rolleyes:

Sadly that is caused entirely by my photography skills. :oops:

I'm guessing it was because I had it in a white ice cream tub while the latter ones were in a transparent critter cage thingy.

I need a bigger house so I can have more racks and keep everything.

I like the banding on number 3 and can't decide what would make better morph combo's in the future - even with lemon pastels I would love to see banded and black-backed versions, and lord alone knows what a spider would look like with either base pattern influence. :rolleye2:

Mhm, same here.:D

I gotta go with the crowd on this one Doc. It's gotta be #4! I forget is it a male? If so send it my way I've got a beautiful black back female with crazy blushing and a reduced pattern that would go great with him lol.

Congrats man!

I LOVE the fourth hatchling also!!! I would keep him if I were you! :D His black back is awesome and he's nice and reduced!

number 4 is awesome!
congrats on the new babies!
