    Y'all were right :-(

    I thought I hit my BEL.

    I was sure it was.
    And after 7 eggs became 2 I prayed for just one BEL.
    I had to cut early.
    Day 51,
    And one seems to be a gorgeous butter.
    And the other may be a light Mojave or a darker butter.
    Either way I'm happy they're alive and in good health.
    I'll post pictures once they're out of the eggs.

    I am disappointed but hey,
    There's always next year

    At least they are healthy! Sorry you missed out. I will be praying for one of those in a few years too.

    Too bad! I want a BEL as well.

    Keep in mind that pigment is one of the last things to develop, so even candling can be wrong!

    They just started to die one by one during incubation. Was left with the 2.

    Nope. Not wrong.
    Decided to cut.
    So its definite. They're both morphs of either one butter one mojo.
    Or both butters.
    I'm happy cuz they're not normals for sure. No doubt that they're morphs.
    But still bummed. 1/4 odds between 2 eggs was a big gamble.

    Those white snakes are always so elusive. I bet you'll bounce back with tons of BELs in your next attempt .

    I got that I just mean in the other thread you said you had a BEL, and you knew this from candling. I just meant, this method of IDing hatchlings can definitely still be wrong, as pigment is the last thing to develop, and it also depends how the snake is laying inside of the egg. I thought I had WAY more albinos this year, but I was incorrect

    Either way, congrats on the other guys! We must see pics when they have emerged!

    Re: Y'all were right :-(

    sorry to hear that you lost so many eggs durning incubation. weak clutches happen, not much you can do about it. glad that 2 made it and that
    they are both morphs. hopefully your female is eating like a pig, breeding season is just right around the corner. good luck this breeding
    season and hopefully you'll hit more than one bel. and if you have any questions on candling the eggs to see if you hit on any bels, it might take a phone call. too much typing, don
