Just thought I'd update you all on our little kinked female YB that we hatched out in May of this year. She was the product of a boob egg that I didn't even know would hatch or not. We're in our first successful breeding year and hadn't dealt with a boob egg before but were told to give it a chance.

Well out popped this little beautiful yellowbelly female. A bit smaller than her clutchmates at only 54 grams but really not that awfully small.



Unfortunately she was born with this kink....



She's done really well though right from the start. She started eating as soon as she had her first shed and is usually the first of our 11 hatchlings to snatch up her dinner. She seems determined to prove that no little kink is ever going to hold her back LOL.

She's a beautifully patterned snake, not the best of our YB's as far as flames or anything and with that kink maybe some wouldn't even keep her but she's got a home with us for her lifetime. She's gone from our smallest hatchling to the 2nd biggest of the hatchlings and nothing is stopping this little female! Mike and I can't resist any little snake whose as determined as she is to thrive.

Here she is...all 107 grams of her....









We haven't found the just right name for her yet. We like to pick either celtic or gaelic names for all our ball pythons so I'm on the search for a warrior queen type of name for this fierce little girl.
