Beauties, congrats!

The 4th normal het Albino baby is out and so is the T- Albino baby. The normal is a very nice 7 grams and looked female. The Albino is 6.1 grams and wasn't cooperative but appeared male. Last egg hasn't pipped yet.

Last baby is out, unfortunately Morphy wasn't kind to the odds and it's another normal het. But a nice plump 6.9 grams and looked maybe male.

Here are some new, still pre-shed pictures of them. I normally separate babies immediately, which makes it easier to keep records on them, but lots of breeders recommend keeping them to together until they all shed before separating them. So I'm trying that with this clutch.

Here is a 4th baby.

Then the last two, they were under the water bowl and didn't want to stay still! So that's all I got of them.

Omg they are so beautiful. Put me on a waiting list for an albino baby!!!! =D

Me too hah. I've always liked the look of house snakes. Do you have any knowledge of the various morphs they have for sale. Like I've seen all black, brown with pattern, patternless dark brown, tan/olive color. Are these genetic phases or if you breed a light with a dark will you get a middle etc.

This may sound weird, but I fell in love with the albinos EYES. <3

Here are some pictures of baby #6, unfortunately the only baby currently eating. This one is super calm and hasn't turned down a meal though. Not the best pictures ...

Finally let me get a few of it's face.

Small, but not what I'd call tiny, compared to some babies I've seen.
Great pics (as usual), are they typically difficult to get started eating?

Charis · 02-03-15, 01:26 AM

Um, I've heard both. They seem to have the reputation of being voracious eaters but also difficult to get started. So far this clutch is being difficult.

How big do they grow as adults?

Charis · 02-03-15, 11:11 AM

Males are small and generally get to 2-3 feet. Females are much larger and generally 3 to 4 feet, although a few 5 foot females have been reported.

Bit of a surprise, Indigo's second clutch just started to hatch yesterday. I'd thought either the coxi or the second corn clutch would be next. She laid a third clutch on 5/21. 12 fertile looking eggs. This current clutch had a number of eggs go bad, hoping that doesn't happen with the third clutch.

Pippy pics from yesterday.

And it was out this morning. Weighs 6 grams and possibly a male.
