Last year we had a double het clutch of albino to pied, 4 eggs. Incubation was fine. We never noticed a temp spike or power outage. Eggs pipped on their own at day 57. Three hatchlings crawled out and were perfect and the last baby never came out. As for as I could tell he pipped his egg and just died. He (I never sexed him) had a very small lower jaw and his neck never separated from his belly (I hope that makes sense). We have been breeding a while now and that was our first defect....
Loads of balls around here

I wouldn't consider a topic about recording deformed/dead babies and breeders needing to cull them a laughing matter, personally.
I'll be following this thread. Sad, yet informative and insightful.

You can get variations in head/skull deformities including duckbills, mishaped heads, cleft jaws etc.
You can get severe and minor kinking of the spine etc.
You can get eye issues (usually stemming from skull deformity)
Of 5 supers produced in an 8 egg clutch, only 1 came out flawless. 2 were culled due to extreme deformity, and 2 were given away to friends as pets due to being completely unbreedable, but in survivable shape.
Super black pastels and black pastel cinnamons have also run into the same complications according to other breeders, although it hasn't been well documented and the frequency of these complications isn't known.
Taken from my post on reptilescanada.com
I would like to hear more about super black pastels from other breeders. We are planning to go for super black pastels in a year or two, and we have our hearts set on an all black snake. I hope to hear about deformities relating to them from others. I am really sorry to hear about your experience TJ, but hopefully it can help others.
