These babies are not normal!

[Sweetseraph]

Or should I say classic? I was expecting all normals from my amel mother and anery father, but apparently they are in fact amel het anery x anery het amel, because I am seeing a rainbow of colours!

First mom and dad...then pippies!!!

Friday night there were 2 pippies:

Now there's 9:

And 2 are out of their eggs!

Very cool! That's great that their unknown hets would match up so well.

 

[Tavia]

Sorry for the double post. But I just took another look at the two out of their eggs. Really love to head pattern on the anery!

 

[ZoologyGirl]

What a fantastic surprise!

 

[CALIVIK]

YAY! I'm so happy for you! They are finally here! Lots of colors! NICE! Did you want a Classic? I would LOVE one! Congrats on the babies!!!! How many eggs?

 

[Sweetseraph]

Thanks everyone! There is one classic so far, but there should be a few more.

I should get:

25% classic
25% amel
25% anery
25% snow

This morning there is 11 pipped and 6 of those are out of their eggs. There's 18 eggs, so still 7 more to pip.

Congrats, hidden hets are fun.

It's always a great surprise when its unexpected . I was told my snow may be a bubblegum! I just got to wait it out and see.

 

[Sweetseraph]

So far 8 are out of their egg.

3 snows, 3 anerys, 1 classic, 1 amel

 

[Sweetseraph]

The classic is the one trying to escape on the left side there! LOL

 

[CALIVIK]

Love the colors! I see the Classic! Would love to have one! Congrats Girl! Well worth the wait! I'm at day 57 at room temps I bet my go closer to 80 days. :uhoh:

 

[wasuslitherin]

Very nice!!They look very healthy! Hope they all eat!

 

[ceduke]

Love it! They look really nice!

 

[Sweetseraph]

Well, everyone is out of their eggs. There were 18 eggs, but I only ended up with 17 babies. The last egg wasn't hatching and it had been 4 days since the first one pipped, so I slit it, but the baby inside was dead, wasn't even a fully developed baby, more of a grey mass with some snakie features.

Anyways, final count was 2 normals, 4 amels, 4 anerys and 7 snows. I might have liked some more normals, but I'm not complaining.

Here's the pile:

 

[CALIVIK]

WOW! What a lovely bunch! They are so pretty! Congrats!!!

[wretchedprocess]

Oh my, the father of this clutch is one of the prettiest anerys I've ever seen!

And the babies!!!! Yay, the babies!!!

I spent years believing I had no maternal instinct whatsoever. Turns out I want to give birth to baby snakes! Oh, how I coo and babble over them!

Its great to babble and coo, but you have to get them to eat too! Its only been just under a week since all of mine shed but only one has eaten twice, one ate once and the others are holding out. To the OP, I hope you have great feeders!

True, but I am at the stage of Maternal Instinct where I have not produced my own snakey offspring, I just go all gooey-eyed over those of others. A few years down the road, when I breed a clutch (because there's no way I will avoid it), I will know the true worries of those lovely babies. Until then, I'm just glad you all keep posting yours! And good luck with them! I hope they eat for you soon!
