    Re: Black-headed python progression thread

    Bittersweet news on the rest of the clutch. I went to remove the hatchling from the egg box this morning and was met with the sour smell of dead eggs. It appears all 4 other babies passed at about the same point of development. None had absorbed the yolks and as humid as the egg boxes were the eggs appeared dried out on the inside.
    I am waiting to hear back from Derek as to his opinion on what happened. I am leaning towards they were incubated a little too warm. I will update as I get more feedback from him. Anyhow the one survivor it a gorgeous specimen for sure. Gotta live BHP's, they keep you guessing for sure.

    Re: Black-headed python progression thread

    So after meeting with a local guy who has had much success breeding woma pythons and other various aussie snakes we think we figured out what went wrong with the bhp clutch. We believe white mold spores came in on the perlite I purchased from the garden store. Apparently sitting around all the other things in a garden store allows spores to migrate around. I also was incubating at the high range of what was recommended which increased the growth rate of the mold.
    Egg boxes changed to diffuser over damp paper towel, temps lowered about 4 deg. Ready for the next clutch. Then this happened the other day, just a couple days after loosing the 4 black-headed python eggs, this girl dropped 8 healthy eggs. Not bad for a first time mom.
    Fingers crossed this time around.

    He is so stunning, & so lucky! Let's hope no more problems with the next clutch...I'm so glad that first batch wasn't your only ones, that was just so sad.

    It makes more sense that a mold* got to them: since one hatched out just fine it can't have been the temp./humidity, it was the same for all.

    Did you actually find any "white mold"? -or smell it? I've not heard of that. And is there a way to remove it, to bake or freeze it out of the Perlite you use?
