First 100% Het for albino carpets of season Hatching!

I had to Manually pip these eggs as they were on day 68. Way too long for the eggs to not hatch. A traumatic experience to say the least.






First one is fully out now and still has a bit of yolk to absorb. Will keep all updated about the progress.

Let them get out of the egg first, then shedding, then eating at least 3 or 4 times. Its going to be a busy december i tell you.

Are those hybrid hets or actual darwin hets? I noticed in the title it says "100% het for albino carpets"..... it doesn't say Darwins.

Seeing as market forces have driven down the price of darwin hets, this yr it seems that 100% darwin hets will be a few hundred dollars, so I geuss that hybrid hets should be about $15, up to $20 for a really nice one.

Do you cut the rest of the eggs after the first hatchling has broken through on its own?

Lol well it's hard to judge from the pics but they look a little different than Darwin markings however they can vary a bit but if pure Darwin hets i'm thinking your guess of only a few hundred dollars each for a pure het is a bit of a way off the mark,the cheapest last season were still over $2000.00 and i can't see the market forces working quite that quickly,as for hybrids i guess it depends what sort and without starting a hybrid debate i would love to see the results of Darwin cross diamond hets bred to each other as well as jungles.The price would certainly be cheaper than pures but $15-$20 lol i don't think so!

mrmikk if you have a close look at the eggs you can see where one's definitely been cur openmanually but quite a few have the tell tale slits made from the young pythons egg tooth,once one hatches it seems to stimulate the rest to do the same,hope that helps!
