    Re: Unexpected babies

    Very nice, Kyle. I couldn't say if they were 100% parietalis or not... it's such a variable sub-species, and I'm no expert.... maybe Sjoerd, Udo or Stefan?

    Not a clue, never saw a parietalis neonate.

    Re: Unexpected babies

    The more I compare them to mum, the more I'm convinced they're pure.
    Neat patterns on some of them, I'll get closeups soon. :P

    Re: Unexpected babies

    Just checked the pen again; I missed a couple.
    I rounded up two more and missed one; I'd say there's maybe 3 or 4 left for me to find.

    Re: Unexpected babies

    You are questioning whether they are pure... Do you keep different species together regularly? Was there a different male in with the mom ever??

    1. Yes. She's in a pen full of 100% girls though. There were boys in there for 2 maybe 3 minutes once, and none made attempts at her.
    2. I don't know. The guy I got her from probably got her from the wild. x.x

    Re: Unexpected babies

    Well, I can never tell with 100% certainty. But they do look like parietalis. The flanks look a bit colored, that will turn red in 1 or 2 sheds.
    Parietalis are actually quite ugly little snakes when they're born...Almost no color, very fragile but wonderfull personalities!
    congrats on the babies!
