Torn Egg update and other pics

[muddoc]

Well, as some have asked, I am obliged to give an update on our torn egg. For those that do not know about it, we were seperating a clutch of eggs when they were laid, and I accidently tore one of the eggs. It still was not completely removed from the other egg, so I immediately stopped seperating them and pressed the eggs back together. I put the 2 eggs that were attached together in the incubation box, and burried the torn egg(the one on the bottom) to help support the top egg, andf keep the hole from opening back up. After about 2 days of incubation, the torn egg started to plump up, and I assumed that the hole had healed over. At day 52, I seperated the 2 eggs from each other, and could not find the hole. We snipped the eggs, and awaited the arrival of some baby snakes.

This clutch was from a Normal female bred by our Enchi male. % eggs were laid, and the final baby hatched this morning. We ended up with 0.4 Enchis and 0.1 Normals. I have included a clutch picture, as well as a picture of the Enchi girl from the torn egg. I think she is the best looking girl in the clutch, and will be staying right here in our collection.

I also realized that we have not been posting any pictures of babies this year, so I also included a picture of the females from our first Albino to Het clutch, and the first 4 hatchlings from our Sulpher to Normal clutch. So far, we have 1.0 Normals and 0.3 Sulphers out of that clutch.

I hope you enjoy the pics (they are not the best I have ever taken, but they were done quickly with just the onboard flash). Also, the Albinos will probably shed in a day or two, and the Sulphers and Enchis are all less than 24 hours old. Here are the pics.









Thanks for looking,

Thanks Jason. I love them too. It is the first living Albinos that we have ever hatched. I finally get to add a few female Albinos to the collection.
