I'll definitely post photos when they hatch, so check back here in about 47 days...

Here's a peek at the babies! Sure, they just look like blobs with veins, but that is the beginning of my snakelets...

This is the "boobie" egg (partially un-calcified) - so far, it's looking great!




Doesn't that stuff under the pen-mark look like a human fetus? Creeeepy...

Thanks! And yes, I am getting excited... a little over halfway there, and I can't WAIT to see them finally hatch.

Ball Python babies (what I'm hatching) usually weigh between 60-75g, and are around 1-1.5ft long. Here are a few pics of last year's clutch, so you get an idea:



The one Mojave


And a cute normal


About a month after hatching, with a year-old male (the dad)... hard to believe Julius was that tiny just a year earlier!

The first baby started to "pip" (cut their egg) today, so I have a few teaser pictures for you... looks like everyone's alive/healthy, and my odds are great with 1 normal and 4 mojaves! I'll post more photos when they begin to emerge, but here's a peek at what's inside:

The only definite normal...


The boobie egg, a mojave who's very much alive but small.


Not sure about this one - light normal or darker mojo?


Now THAT'S a mojo! Also has the dad's heart pattern... coolio.

Congrats. Can Mama snake babies have different Daddies? What do you do with the babies? Do they have to stay with Mama snake for awhile?
