First clutch! Pastel poss. het Pied to Pastel poss. het Pied!

[Matt K]

Hey guys! Well, after a discouraging year last year and earlier this year with some slug clutches, my snakes finally pulled through for me! This is going to be my first Ball Python clutch ever, and I'm really excited about the Hail Mary pass for some Super Pastel Pieds. The female is a 66% het, and the sire is one of her offspring. She has never produced a clutch from a Pied or het Pied breeding before, so there's always that liiiiiiittle chance of being blessed with an awesome snake. The truth is, I'm just so stoked for eggs that even if they were all normals I'd be jumping up and down over it, haha.

I know long videos are a pain in the butt and can get incredibly boring, but this one covers me taking her off the clutch, weighing, candling, etc. all in one. I try not to flap my gob off too much, lol. Anywho, on to the pictures and video!

First two of her on the clutch:



And the clutch by itself. I took all of these before finishing the clutch card, just for record keeping sake.


Annnnnnnd the video for any interested parties!

Cheers,
