I recently was at a breeder friends house, picking up my new Black Pastel male. (That they had bought as a female)
While I was there they were telling me about a surprise clutch that someone had given them. They set all 5 eggs up in the incubator and only 3 hatched. (Probably due to the fact that this someone drove a clutch of eggs to their house.) 2 were a little small, but healthy eaters and started growing, the last one hatched out at 13 grams! He still hasn't eaten and they aren't sure if he'll make it, but they named him Lucky, and he is the tiniest ball python that I have ever seen. (pictures coming soon)
So it got me thinking, what is the smallest hatchling y'all have ever seen? Did they make it to adulthood? Were they stunted at all or did they eventually grow to normal size?
