Babies!!!

So I was in the midst of feeding Daddy and taking pictures:

When low and behold, I see a BABY SPOTTED HEAD poking out of Mommy's terra cotta hide! I almost shat myself!!!! So I distracted Mommy (who was still quite protective I might add) with a nice thawed rat and started taking the little ones out and snapping photos like a crazy lady!

So I was presented with a problem at this point. Four babies are out but there are still some more in the eggs, I have to go to work in 30 min and if I leave them in mom's enclosure they'll escape before I get home.

Soooo...distracted mom yet again and very gently moved the eggs to their own container in the rack:

More pictures to come, I promise. But I have to get to work!

A very excited,

Well congrats! They look cute as hell! Nothing better than hatchling pythons to put a good spin on your day! LOL

Great pics too by the way!

Congrates on the babies

Well seeing as how this is my first time breeding, I may end up keeping one. The rest, I have two friends who want one each. I have a herper friend who wants all the female. I have a wholesaler willing to buy the entire clutch. Or I can just sell them individually. Lots of choices. I'm sure they'd sell well.

Hey when do i get one? :D:D:D

LOL Are you allowed to get one since you're now kind of living at work?

And as an update, Numbers 5,6 and 7 are now out. Looks like there's at least two or three more.

Hey - I love the pics

I have a few friends who are interested in Spotted Pythons? Are any for sale? I live in Sudbury, so I could drop by and do a pick up some time.

Thanks

There will probably be some for sale. I'm just waiting until they all eat some meals and I'm going to sex them, then I'll see how many are for sale.

I live in Texas so im out for the sale lol.

[Aaron_S]

You wouldn't be selling them until like Sept anyways! I can take one to London for sure. I'll just have to make sure it's packed nice. Maybe hidden for a night:P

[treeboa34]

they are so cute well done!

[SerpentLust]

Sooo...final count. I only ended up with eight babies...unfortunately two were, um, I guess you can say Stillborns. They were dead in the eggs. Then there were two eggs that were just shrivelled and useless. Then eight healthy, active babies.

[reptilenut4sure]

That sucks about the 2 that didn't make it. But at least you got 8 from it.

[TailsW/Scales]

Congrats on the gorgeous little ones. :D
Sorry to hear two didn't make it. :(

[The Snake Guru]

Sorry to hear about the 2, but 8 live out of a 12 egg clutch isn't bad at all especially for natural incubation.

I'd say a job well done indeed!
