    Sorry to read about the problems with incubation. Next year, you might want to consider a backup thermostat for your incubator. That way, if you have a spike the backup will shut it down or keep it within range. Hope they all thrive for you.

    Glad they ended up as healthy as they are, considering that intense spike! Makes me feel slightly less concerned about the 93 degrees I caught the incubator at a couple days ago due to the sun hitting the snake room just right.

    Re: Learning to take the bad with the good.

    glad that it wasn't too bad with such a high spike. I would not count on the thermostat fixing itself. if it happen once it could happen again. replace it, it's the most important part of your incubator. most of the herpstats have high and low temp alarms that you can set. not sure if they will work if the thermostat malfunction or not. but with me just opening the door to check on the eggs will set it off. good luck with that clutch, keep us posted on their progress, don

    Gale, those are some spectacular looking babies - eyes or no eyes!! Congrats on all the clutches! I know you've had a few "offers" for a couple of these, but if you're looking to place any of those babies with no eyes in a permanent caring home, I'd be happy to help you out. I also do some educational programs for our school districts and I have had special needs reptiles in the past. Just let me know if I can help in any way.

    Gorgeous babies! Glad they're not kinked...

    I wonder, though, on a temperature spike so late in the development, would kinking happen? Or would kinking more likely happen with an earlier incubation temp spike? just my curiosity...

    Great babies! Would you post pics of the parents?
    Lots of BPs, and still not enough!

    Thank you to everyone who responded.

    And yes, even without eyes they are beautiful, everything I hoped from the pairing. I am humbled and touched everyone has offered the little fire a home. As of yet, I don't know if it will be staying with me or not. Since I have one eyeless snake already, and everything about her is normal as can be, I have high hopes for these babies doing well. Since I know the cause of the issue with these, I wouldn't feel bad letting them go to be potential breeders in the future. Which brings me to a question.

    Please answer honestly. Would you, knowing the cause of the eyelessness, willingly buy a baby such as that fire with the intention of breeding it in the future? It wouldn't be the same price as a perfect baby of course, but would you even consider it?

    Quick Update.

    As of right now, another baby has joined us, a fire. There is also another head out, a second eyeless fire. The remaining egg appears to be another fire, this one has both eyes.

    Pictures:

    Baby # 2, who did NOT want to sit still for a photo!


    Baby # 8 another fire. Darker than the others, but ohhhh the blushing!



    Baby # 9, the second eyeless fire.



    Group Photo!

    I would not mind picking an eyeless snake up but it would be a pet and not a breeder.

    Honestly, not sure how much I would be willing to pay for one. If I were spending money to add good genes to a breeding program, I would want top of the line. But for the right price would welcome one into my home, as a pet in a heartbeat.

    I would buy an eyeless bp if I knew that it wasn't due to genetic defects.

    Either way, they deserve a great home, whether you choose to hang on to them or not.

    Though, you know, I am almost a neighbor, down here in Springfield, MO. You know, just in case you want to find a home where you can check in from time to time.
