    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?
    Yeah, we found what appeared to be white mold. No odor, just white fuzzy stuff on the eggs that died. There may be a way to sterilize the perlite but I am not messing with it any more. Just a damp paper towel with diffuser over it and a sealed box to hold in humidity. It seems simple is best with these guys.

    I've never used perlite, I always used vermiculite (which theoretically could have the same issue), without any noticeable problem.

    Anyone would want something to blame, so there's something to avoid for better luck next time, but you still have to wonder if the mold was there because the
    eggs went bad, or the eggs went bad because the mold was there. Hope you get the answer (& a beautiful clutch!) this time.

    These are definitely on my list. Condolences for the loss, but happy for the little trooper.

    Do yours carry the same enthusiasm and spirit that many say about BHPs?
    Too Many...

    That's what my wife says

    Re: Black-headed python progression thread

    It has been a while since posting last, things have been crazy around here. I tried my hand at building some cages with pvc foam board, I think they turned out pretty nice. I am planning on rebuilding the larger melamine enclosures with it after the first of the year.
    Our lone survivor is eating great on her own now, it took about ten assist feedings and a short brumation she started eating on her own. She won't take from tongs, you have to leave the f/t rat in there. She is super skittish. We did have her sexed and she is a female. We will be holding her back for our western breeding line up.
    I had Bonnie (dam to our baby) out the other day and the wife took a pick so I included that as well. Boy she is getting big. She is getting quite pleasant to work with the older she gets as well. The food drive is finally starting to temper off a bit. Still eats anything offered just not trying to eat me anymore.

    Re: Black-headed python progression thread

    We do have another addition to our bhp family, another one produced by Derek Roddy. This little male is 100% het for axanthic and possoble het with markers for the tiger gene. This male is our first step in an eventual goal of producing tigers and axanthics.

    Thanks for the update. Glad to hear things are progressing well. And congrats on yours new boy!

    Such a cool breed.

    Re: Black-headed python progression thread

    Ok, a lot has happened since our last update so I figured I'd drop some pics to show what's going on.
    Our little het axanthic male is coming along nicely and the weather is favorable to ship so we may see him this week. He is 100% het for A line axanthic, 50% for B line and has markers for the tiger gene. Super excited about this guy.
    Our lone survivor female from last year's clutch is also doing great. Eating regularly and full of spunk, looking more and more like dad every day.
    Our western female Patty looks to be gravid, this will be her first season. Bonnie gets a year off so she gets a break.
    Our woma Milo also looks to be building so fingers crossed there as well.
    Tried my hand at building pvc foam board enclosures and they turned our pretty nice.
    We have sold all but one of our baby womas from last season, one is still not eating on his own yet.
    All in all things are looking promising this year. We learned a lot last year and hopefully can apply it for better success this time around.
