Our First Clutch (pic heavy)

[Bruce Whitehead]

Thanks Bruce! Well Kate and Nicole are already asking if they can adopt Little Miss Kinky Slinky if she does well. It's early days yet and we've never dealt with a snake with this sort of issue but we'll just watch her to see if she can do well with eating and defecating, grows well, etc. and talk to our trusted breeder friends about how snakes like her do as a pet.

OH OH OH... I get to ask a newbie question.

Is there any chance of it correcting itself, or is a kink a deformity that is irreversible?

I guess I just see so many hard luck stories with babes that work out in the long run so I am curious.

Still a HOT HOT HOT girl regardless.

Congrats Jo - I know you guys are excited and I'm excited for you guys...Nice odds too - Always nice to be female heavy on a clutch...

Thanks BT. Like I said I'm going to go through the clutch a few times and re-check those genders over the coming weeks. I've never had my hands on babies this fresh out of the egg, let alone popped one so the numbers may change slightly.

Beautiful babies... I like the kinked one and #6 a lot. Good luck with that little baby.

Thanks Diana. #6 has a pretty nice stripe going on and the richest colors of all the babies in this clutch (reminds me of her daddy, Riordan, colorwise).

I really don't know Bruce. I'm assuming as she eats and grows a bit it might be a bit less obvious. I'm a newbie at this too so I figure I'll be bugging some of the wonderful experienced breeders here to get their opinions on what her future might be.

I remember saying to Tim Bailey that I wasn't going to let myself get attached to that boobie egg in case it didn't make it....Tim....you were so right...I got attached.

TOLD YA SO!!



Congrats on the hatchlings Jo. I would guess from looking at the picture, that the kinkes girl will be ok for a pet. It may be possible, if she passes waste fine, and grows to 1500 plus grams, for her to have a clutch of eggs. However, it may be a risk, and it would be a judgement call as to how her life had been to that point.

I like Kinky the most Jo hopefully she'll be alright. Great clutch

Thanks so much, Tim. Mike and I really appreciate how helpful you've been to us going through all these first experiences with these eggs. We're going to do just as you and Monica have suggested (and please thank Monica for talking to me the other day on the phone about this little kinked female).

If she does well and never is breedable, that's just fine. My oldest daughter is very interested in her as a pet or she may well stay here with us and become a part of our school education program. She could carry a message to the kids that being born a little different isn't such a bad thing really.

Thanks Emilio. We're very excited with all of them but little Kinky is sort of special since we didn't expect a viable hatchling from that egg in the first place.
