Nervous about 1st time hatching eggs and ?

[BHReptiles]

Good point Mr. Lang. This morning I did consider the possibility that she may not be a het. I bought the pair years ago from a well-known and reputable breeder. I don't doubt they intended to sell me a male albino and female het. What is possible is that with a facility producing tons of babies, there's a chance a normal looking creature or het for another gene could have been accidentally misplaced or mislabeled. Accidents do happen. Anyways, I'll have to breed her next year with the albino and see what she produces. Yesterday I was disappointed that no albinos were produced but I am looking forward to raising these little ones up for some time.

First of all, congrats on the clutch! My first clutch hatched about a week ago, so I know the high you are feeling!

Second, I would give the female two more seasons to try and prove out her het. If she doesn't prove out, I'd contact the breeder. Most offer a genetic guarantee and should honor it.
