Well I just read the whole thread as well! Man...that's worse than a cliff hanger ending on a movie prepping for a sequel...Arg!!

From what I can tell, 3 hatched. A normal male? at 45g, and 1.1 bee 69g and 47g, not sure which was which. They lost one egg on day 68 and a second normal died shortly after hatching. She sold the female bee here and as far as I can tell kept the normal and male bee. So now we know! Kinda. She updated on the bee a year later

Lol, hated how this thread just ended!

Oh my gosh! I can't believe this was TWELVE YEARS AGO!

I just re-read this entire thread and I was like... huh, why did I not post the pictures of the babies born? Silly woman. So, ok... let me just figure out where to load pictures (photobucket stopped hosting for free) and I'll finish up this thread properly with a TWELVE YEAR UPDATE! STAY TUNED!

No pressure...

Okay, as an update -

This was our one and only breeding attempt. We hatched out 3 snakes:
1 - Normal (the prettiest one I've seen). She was a big problem. Wouldn't eat. We had to force feed. Finally started to eat but would go on starvation diets periodically. She died not too long after.

2 - Bumblebee female. I shipped her to one of the members here who breeds ball pythons. I checked on her periodically and after a few years, she passed away as well. I don't know if she was able to produce a clutch for the breeder. It would be so cool if she did and we can have an update on her babies.

3 - Bumblebee male. This boy was a powerhouse. He was the the biggest in the clutch, ate like rats are going out of style, bitey as heck at first but eventually calmed down. He grew up to be a super pretty and chill snake who tolerates being passed around at parties. He's our prettiest snake so is the most popular with the guests. He is 12 years old!

4 - Mom Pastel. Mom remained the queen python that she is, aloof and moody. I can't remember anymore if it was that very next winter when she passed away. She got EGG BOUND! I did not expect this because we didn't put her with any other snake ever again after that. She somehow still made eggs for some mind-boggling reason. The vet couldn't save her. She was a ginormous snake going on 4 feet long and fat around.

5 - Dad Spider. The kids call him a "special needs" snake. He's not. He just has the spider quirkiness - he rotates his head in unexpected directions, sometimes twisting himself into a pretzel. This is our only snake that somehow manages to eat a rat sideways - folding it in half. It's the craziest thing. But he's thriving and still pretty. He's about 14 years old now.


And for the pictures. Dun dun dun.....

Dad is on the left (Salazar). Son is on the right (Jack). They're both big, fat snakes!

Just myself, but I find it incredibly easy to just upload pictures to my 'gallery' through the profile and use the link provided to post them here. No worry about them disappearing from the source location (unless you delete them from the gallery). Unfortunately it means they WILL disappear if you do delete them from the gallery, since posts can only be edited right after they're made...
