Total 8 of them, father black tan banded, and mother red broken... Yes, I do make weird combinations sometimes, but it will be fun to see what these are gonna grow up to be.
They grow fast! I know the colours already! Well, allmost, sort of..
Dark ones are probably black, although I do suspect that one with white sides might be agouti. That white looking one is actually dove banded, he just forgot to add colour to his frontside, so only bottom is dove... And does one of the dove's look a bit different to you? Lighter coloured? He might turn out to be something else, or just lighter dove, not sure yet.
Anyway, 3 males and 5 females, and here they are.
Looks like you had some interesting recessives show up in your litter. The first on the left in the first pic looks blue to me. The light colored ones might be silver, which is so pretty in satin. Or maybe a couple of them are champagne... have to wait another week or so to see. Very nice litter overall.
This happens all the time... The more I mix up different colours, the weirder the results... I never know what Im getting. Makes it more fun and intresting, than trying to raise one single colour, I think.
Right, this is what is left after culling. (Yes, they were pretty, but the snake has to eat.)
I left 2 girls, the dard one's. Im pretty sure they are rather dark coloured agouti. Agouti happens to be one of my favourite colours, totally underrated in my opinion...
And 2 boys, this mysterious orange looking that I keep for myself, and the dove banded without headcolour my friend wanted.
