Once again... orangebellies?

[wolfy-hound]

Lumpy and Nehi's clutch is hatching. 4 babies are out of the egg, and I've only gotten one "piled up" picture but I will be posting more, just couldn't wait. If nothing else, a couple have a massive amount of speckling(granite?) and Nehi is a SON of the Granite Ivory from Ben. Quick sexing seems to show 2.2, but I never trust the female sexing until I've done it after they shed. Two are definitely males.

I'll get individual pictures once all of them are out of the eggs(2 lazybones still lounging in the incubator).





If I can get the pics off my iPhone, I'll post those too. The photobucket app wasn't working. I realize these aren't the greatest pictures to begin with. Better ones will be upcoming.


EDIT Of course, the instant I post, the iPhone app works...

Congrats Theresa! Looking forward to seeing more pics

I too look forward to seeing more pics. I myself just got a breeder orangebelly from Ben, will be breeding him to my really light normal to see what happens.

Okay, finally I got some updated pictures. All have shed and about half have eaten.

Here's the pics, and the babies' numbers are in each picture, sorry there aren't more belly shots but the buggers just don't cooperate.































And one of one of Haurie's babies, just because...



Anyone please let me know your opinions on Orangebelly, Not Orangebelly, whatever. I start looking them over and think "Yes, OB... yep OB... yeah OB.. wait... probably not ALL OB, so I'm probably wrong... dang it..."

I appreciate any help. The sire was a orangebelly from Ben, out of his granite ivory, and mom was Lumpy, a completely normal bland female. Thank you in advance, and sorry for such a long string of pics!

Nothing?

This is why I won't do orangebelly's, yellowbelly's just SCREAM "I'm a morph" while orangebelly's just tease you

Not 100% on any of them but this is what I see...
1 looks like an OB possible granite
2 looks like a granite OB
3 looks like a granite OB
4 looks like a granite OB
5 looks like a normal
6 looks like a granite OB

It might be easier to tell if you put them in order and show a top shot and then a belly shot of each.
Don't be afraid to have your hand in the picture holding them upside down, some are difficult to tell the belly and having them balled up makes it even more difficult to tell.

I wasn't trying to keep my hand out as much as trying to get as much snake in the pic. I can't hold with two hands and get the picture, and one hand leads to a picture of my hand and a tiny bit of snake. If I find my tripod I'll try a timed pic with me holding them. Just a real pain to try to get pics when they either ball up or make a run for it.

Thanks for the opinions! I appreciate it. I was thinking there was a lot o granite looking on some.

I have a hard time with belly pics too. Top and bottom of each snake in order would really help.

1 and 3 are OB's ... Maybe 4

All of the OB's that I have produced have strong belly markings. Nothing subtle about them.

Jerry here is a " teaser" for ya

Thank you! I appreciate it! I'm not sure how the pics got all mixed up when I uploaded them.
