On the 12th of October 2016 I found this in my female's cage. Diamond Pythons are notoriously difficult to breed and if you do get eggs, they are even more difficult to hatch, so I placed the eggs in my incubator and hoped they did well.
There were 15 good eggs:
I lost 5 of the eggs during incubation and on the 10th of December the 10 remaining eggs started to hatch. 2 babies hatched but were very weak and died shortly after.
Baby just after hatching:
They all shed about 10 days after hatching:
So far 6 of the 8 have eaten:
The one baby is a lot lighter than the others, I though this one was a bit under developed and weak and might not make it but was the best feeder. This will be a keeper for sure.
Even Lewis Hamilton was impressed.
This is the first time that Diamond Pythons have been bred in South Africa. The black and white Diamonds like the parents and very sought after, even in the US so I am excited to see how these babies turn out.
