More ghost babies this morning!

 

[diamondlil]

Oooooooooooooooooh! I see a pink nose pipping in Annie's clutch! I can't tell if it's a snow or an amel......

 

[diamondlil]

This morning, a ghost het motley hateling, and a snow baby not quite ready to come out yet!

 

[diamondlil]

As I mated Annie(ghost motley het amel) with Bonanza my ghost het blood and Texas Pete my amel stripe (het amel), I think I've proved hets and got myself a bit of a headache. The ghosts will be het motley, poss het blood, poss het amel. In fact some do have split belly markings. The snows (yep, there's another pink nose pipping) should be stripes (carrying stripe and motley genes)

 

[diamondlil]

The snows aren't striped! Of course I'd completely forgotten that Bonanza is a sibling to Lexcorn's avalanche clutch, so he's het amel as well! So, these babies must be het motley and poss het diffuse!

 

[Pugsley]

Very nice. They look so big, even though I know they aren't.

 

[diamondlil]

I love fat tummies on baby snakes! One twin ate its 3rd meal and the other took a pinky head with a bit of persuasion!

 

[Weda737]

the kinked twin? I wanna see. They are so pretty with those wide white bands.

These twins aren't kinked, they are tiny but perfect! The unpipped giant egg had a pair of joined twins dead in egg.

Ohhh I'm sorry I could have sworn one had a small kink but I read so much on these forums I must have gotten mixed up They're all beautiful and I want one of those ghosts!

No worries! These are my first ever ghosts and snows, common morphs I know but exciting for me. 3 clutches still to pip, hatching season is like an extended Christmas present opening!

 

[diamondlil]

Here we go again! Belle and Polly's clutches are pipping. Hoping for aneries pos het blood, and bloods and fires.........

 

[diamondlil]

I plucked up the courage to check Annie's last egg, which got turned over by the other hatchlings and moved around the egg container and was showing no signs of pipping and no movement on candling. A DIE snow, perfectly formed. I also euthanised a conehead from the het Christmas clutch, I hadn't realised it ws deformed until I was going to feed it. As well as the cone-shaped head it seemed unable to move normally either out in a straight line or when I held it in my hands.

 

[diamondlil]

Oh happy days! Here's Belle's first ever baby and the newly hatched blood with a fire pippie!

 

[MysticExotics]

Beautiful babies J9! Congrats!

 

[diamondlil]

Thanks! Some of the first babies are digesting their 3rd feed, some their 2nd or first, with some holdouts. Getting the tiny twins feeding is a total joy. Once the ghosts shed I'll have a good look to see if any are het blood, I think I saw split belly makings on at least 2. Only Lil's clutch to go and a bit of time still. I'm going to be on tenterhooks when her babies do pip!

 

[diamondlil]

Polly's next baby looks like a granite! She has only ever mated with Twopersons in 2010, then last year and this year with Little Joe, so it looks like another hidden het!

 

[diamondlil]

Burn baby burn! The fire finally left the egg!

 

[diamondlil]

Annie's babies are freshly shed!

 

[Carpe Serpentis]

Your lil fire looks sweet. I like brighter halloween/easter colors myself. Very nice, although, to be honest... some of the lavenders also hold my attention.
