Well, I got home yesterday from work and checked on my snakes and eggs like I have been for the last 2 months, and my first clutch is hatching. Here are a few pictures of the ones that are out as well as a few noses.
The parents: Female Normal Stripe het Hypo & Anery A and Male is Hypo Stripe het Anery
And, like all clutches, you get a little viper. Here is mine...
Well, some bad news...I won't have any Hypo Stripes or Ghosts stripes this year. The female that I thought was het Hypo is only het Anery. So I have Normal Stripes and Anery Stripes het Hypo. So will have some in a few years.
pics from last night. All 24 eggs hatched and all babies are doing well. I don't have a final count on the babies yet, but I know I have a mix of Stripe het Hypo, poss Anery and Anery A Stripes het Hypo. As soon as they shed I will get a baby thread started for them.
definitely need progression threads on some of them
Yea, that is true. there are a number that are showing the vanishing stripe or going to patternless. I know for sure that I will be keeping the Anery Stripes to go towards my next 2 projects (hope there is a good sex ratio). I haven't decided on any of the normal stripes though. Will all depend on how the ratio is on the anery's.
