    Re: Babies pipping!!

    Thanks you guys... the mom I actually got for 25 bucks last year from a guy who owns a pet shop here in town. She was already 2800 grams when I got her, so I think I got a good deal. This is my first clutch so I don't know, do pastels usually have a really faded head like this that gets darker when they hatch?

    it depends on the snake and a faded head is a great thing.

    It will get "slightly" darker, but that's a quality pastel right there. I can't wait to see it out of the egg. Definitely the type of blushing on the head everyone should aim for when selectively breeding. Good job!

    Thanks, I'm trying to be as selective as I can and breed for only the highest quality animals. I believe that with all the "so-so" pastels there are out there, people would be more willing to pay extra for an "A" quality pastel rather than a browned out one. Even some of the supers I'm seeing lately don't look as nice as a selectively bred quality "normal" pastel.

    I'm doing the same, and I'm one who is willing to pay more for a Grade A animal.

    Re: Babies pipping!!

    The pastel is still chillin in the egg but one of the normals came out. He/she still has some yolk it hasn't absorbed though. I weighed it quick before I put it in it's new home, 78grams. I have it on moist paper towels for now. How long does it usually take until they absorb all of it?
