Awwwwwwwwwwwwww! That's sooo cute!

SNAKES HAS EGGS !!!!! EGG WATCH !!!, by stillborncrisps on Aug 4, 2008 20:14:08 GMT 1, Hey Snakes!!
Went round my mates at the weekend and for the first time in all his years of having them, one of his cornsnakes eggs had hatched - with a little albino popping out. Few hours later a regular coloured one was breaking out. (The dad was albino)
By the end of the weekend he'd got 4 albino and 4 regular coloured snakes - with 3 more eggs unhatched! that was from 2 initial lays totalling 32 eggs.
Very exciting - will try and post a pic later.

To feed him I would have to stick a coat hanger in the frozen chicken and dance it a around a bit till he ate it.... thrilling

Well here's a few pics of the corn snake babies from the weekend.
Flip knows how he's gonna get rid of them. The local pet shop said they might have a few, and I think he wants to keep an albino.
Are they worth much, or do people tend to give them away, like cats and dogs?

There's 9 babies now, not sure what colour the extra one is.
Will all the normal coloured babies be carrying the albino gene?

SNAKES HAS EGGS !!!!! EGG WATCH !!!, by kj on Aug 6, 2008 21:32:45 GMT 1, There are two different types of albino- red albino and black albino. the white ones in the pic are snows, which are a combination of the two. so if dad is white (snow), and mum is normal... then i have no idea how he's ended up with the black albinos in the photo! if she was het for black and red albino, there'd be 50% snows and 50% normal offspring... no black ones. weird. unless dad is red albino and they're both het for black albino, or vice versa.
i have a snow myself from my friend who hatched 37 of them! she cost me ยฃ20...

The dad is white (snow), but the mum is actually the same colour as the dark babies in the photo. Didn't realise that the darker colour was a variety of albino too.

SNAKES HAS EGGS !!!!! EGG WATCH !!!, by kj on Aug 7, 2008 22:47:24 GMT 1, Oh dear. In a highly unexpected and slightly terrifying turn of events, my cornsnake has double clutched.
She had her first lot of eggs a few months ago, all of them slugs or badly formed and didn't develop. I've spent a while trying to fatten her up. I thought it was working but it turns out she had 8 more eggs (four fertile ones) in her and now she's laid them she's skinny again and I've got NO equipment whatsoever to incubate the four good eggs.
ARGHHH.
