Unexpected Eggs

[santino34]

OK guys, I'm 2 for 2 now. Rocco ate his first hopper mouse on his own tonight. I left the mouse with him while we had dinner. I came back to find him swallowing the mouse. I was really surprised because he initially didnt show any interest. Its Bugsy's turn tomorrow night and I'm keeping my fingers crossed. I'll take some new pics of her tomorrow before I try to feed her.

Now that 2 out of 3 have eaten on their own, It has really started to sink in that all 3 are probably going to make it. This is my first experiece with hatchlings and I have just been learning as I go. Add to that the fact that they should not have been born in the first place and its really kind of mind blowing.

Once they are all eating, I'll have to decide which one I'm going to keep and which 2 I'm going to have to find homes for.

So there was more than one sex in the clutch? Very interesting.

I know, right?

I'm starting to think momma snake was fooling around with the neighbors at night while you guys were asleep.

If she got 20 years of holdover sperm... I wanna know who's the daddy! Lol.

oooo does this mean Cleo could be up for grabs? she is a beauty i would be first in line for her! she would make an amazing pet no way would i breed her because of the kink but i love her pattern

I REALLY dont know about their sex. I'm just going by the names my kids chose. Their actual sex is still a mystery to me.

Ohhhh, very cool! You should have them sexed if at all possible--my bet is on them being all males. It would definitely be an interesting little piece of information to have, and would teach us more about parthenogenesis in Ball Pythons. Anywho, I'm still stoked for you! I'd love to have on of those little guys in my collection!

Cheers,

I had a baby pastel hatch out with a bubble like that over it's eye.
I tossed it into a trade for free to a guy and he told me it died.

I'd put him down to be honest.

But awesome on the parthenogenesis.

You will put him down because he has a chance of dying???

Bugsy is still having some eye problems that switch off between eyes. The left one will swell then drain and then later the right. I offered her a live hopper mouse 2 nights in a row and she didnt eat it. I'll try again tonight.

Offering food too often will put them off feed, so you probably should give him a few days before offering again.
