OMG what are those popping up?!

Just stumbled into this thread and I know I'm a but late but congratulations on all the beautiful"micro pave" babies! These are some truly beautiful snakes you have!
 
Two normals came out on their own and are not micro's but they look normal and healthy as can be, which is good :) I have just peeled out two eggs that had not slit yet, because last year I learned that any egg that won't slit a day after the others holds a DIE. These two eggs yielded two amels, not micro :( They are still in the membrane with a wet paper towel over them but with their nose sticking out so I am sure they won't choke. They look ok so far. There is still a normal colored one that refuses to come out further than halfway its head but I enlarged the gap en tried to take a look at it. I think it is not a micro either.... :( So, no final prove of the recessive inheritance this year I think.... not sure if I want to breed the mother again next year, after three years in a row she deserves a year off but except for the small clutches she never had any trouble laying or recovering afterwards.

The micro x snow clutch is done and consists of 17 perfect hatchlings :) I have not yet counted amels versus normals but there seem to be quite some more amels! Like 12 to 5 or so.

From the micro x mother clutch one amel did not make it, it did not absorg the egg sack. The yolk had already started to get thick a lot, I think that might have contaminated his blood?

I decided to cut off the yolk of the other baby, which had gotten out of the membrane but could not get out with the yolk attached. The next day it acted lethargic and looked a bit dehydrated so I gently dipped him in luke warm water. It did not drink but got more active and started using its tongue. I put it back in the incubator with little hope but it got better and better. Now I would not have guessed it had a bad start at all :) So, I have four normals and an amel, none of them micro :( But they are perfect, no kinks or such. Unfortunately now I cannot say anything about the micro gene from this clutch now.... way too small. But at least there are not 25 normal scaled babies in it to ruin my day, that would have been worrying :p
 
Well, I am glad you had so many healthy ones, and I don't know how I missed your previous post!
I was just showing off the micro scale babies to my grandma, telling her how I want one.
These babies are most likely het for it right?
 
lol well then, I can't WAIT to hear when you breed these guys in 2-3 years!
Do any have that distinct 'het' look you've noticed in previous hets for micro scale?
 
I have not yet tested poss. hets and this year I have the first 100% hets. The original line shows a certain look color wise. They also have quite large heads. This years outbred clutch seems to have the same color and something else that is recognisable but not defineable.
 
I just read this thread from the beginning. You won the lottery, finding a new morph without even trying! Congratulations, that's amazing!

I reeeeeeeally like that anery. :)
