First clutch of '09 hatched!

[muddoc]

Now that we broke the seal, all of the rest of the clutches are downhill (well maybe that is a bit of a fudge). Even thought this clutch is nothing to cut cartwheels over, I was very excited to see them hatch. As a result of them hatching, I now know that my Pastel Yellow Belly male is not infertile. He bred like a champ last year, but no eggs. This year, he has three clutches in the bator, and at least one more on the way.

We didn't get any Pastel Yellow Bellyies, but we did get a beautiful Pastel male, and a pair of Yellow Bellies (my first ever YBs to hatch). Even though I can't say it is the first babies of the year (since my Nic Boa girl beat these eggs to the punch), it is our first Ball Pythons for the year. Man, every year I forget how small they are when they hatch.

On with the pic,

Congrats Tim, that is an awesome pastel, I like that yellow belly on the right too. I'm still trying to prove my male yellow belly too, I finally got one clutch out of him this year and am hoping for the best. He's such a reluctant breeder.
