2011 Clutch Update (lots of pictures)

[theJimmy]

I wanted to share some pictures from my clutches and babies so far this season. So far 6 clutches have hatched, 3 more are in the incubator, and I believe I have 3 more still to drop.

Clutch #1, Pin x Normal, 6 eggs, 1.2 Pins, 1.2 Normals.




My next two clutches had some deformed babies. I believe there was a heat spike in my incubator that caused the problems.
Clutch #2, Pin x Normal, 7 eggs, 3.1 Pins, 1.2 Normals. Two of the male Pins have only one eye. Both though are doing absolutely great and are fantastic eaters.











Clutch #3, Pewter x Cinnamon, 6 eggs (1 died a few weeks in) 0.2 Super Cinnys, 1.0 Pewter, 0.2 Normals. Both of the Super Cinnys are kinked. One girl has kinking started about 2/3 down her back to her tail and the other has a severe neck kink and tail kinking. The girl with the back kinks is doing and eating great; she will be staying here with me as a pet. The other girl unfortunately isn't doing as well. She so far has been unable to eat on her own and will likely need to be euthanized. The Pewter in this clutch is an absolutely gorgeous animal and in my opinion, one of the best examples of a Pewter I have seen. I was really hoping he was a female.









Clutch #4, Albino x Het Albino, 6 eggs, 1.2 Albinos, 2.1 Het Albinos.





Clutch #5, Pewter x Normal, 4 eggs (2 eggs died), 0.1 Cinny, 0.1 Normal. This was a weak clutch but I did get a very nice, very dark, female Cinnamon out of it.






Clutch #6, Spider x Pastel, 10 eggs, 2.1 Bees, 1.2 Spiders, 0.2 Pastels, 2.0 Normals. Huge clutch and great results, the Bees and Spiders are all high white.








Clutch #7, Het TSK Axanthic x Het TSK Axanthic, 6 eggs, Due to hatch on 7/15. Hoping for some silver and black babies.


Clutch #8, Mojave x Mojave, 5 eggs (1 egg died and another looks weak), Due to hatch on 7/18. It looks like I'll only have 3 babies from this clutch, I REALLY hope one of them is a BEL. The super Mojave is what made me want to breed ball pythons.


Clutch #9, Sable or Pin x Normal, 6 eggs, due to hatch 8/6.


That is all so far this season. My next clutch should be dropping around 7/18.
I am really happy with my season so far. Of my 6 clutches that have hatched so far I've had 36 babies out of 39 eggs. Last year I had 2 clutches and 7 babies total.

Thanks for looking.
