The odds certainly went my way this season with the CM clutches. THANK YOU BALL GODS!!!!
As promised earlier this season, I would be sharing breeding/incubation statistics/results at years end. Here they are.
This last clutch, like all pairings this season, was Mojave Het to Het Caramel. Six eggs yielded 0.2 Caramel Mojaves 0.1 Caramel, 2.0 Mojave 66% PH Caramels.
The sixth egg died in the egg due to yolk issues. Before incubation I marked it as "possible infertile" after candling due to poor vein structure. Cutting on day 56 revealed snake was laying/incased with more than half its yolk not absorbed. It was a Caramel Mojave with NO KINKING. I had to know whether it was the second male I was hoping for -- popping showed her to be another girl.
Seasons' total for the project were:
7 visuals: 1.5 Caramel Mojaves( minus the 1 DOA girl) and 1.1 Caramels --ZERO KINKING
*** Bonus -- all the visuals were produced by 3 girls that are 50% Het Hypo.
6.4 Mojave 66% PH Caramel
3.1 66% PH Caramel
INCUBATION:
-- 87 degrees
-- 6 quart CLOSED Sterlite boxes with eggcrate, perlite, and Press N Seal -- no breathing until day 45
-- cut on day 55-56 -- hatched on day 58-60
I will be raising all the visual girls with the intent of doing my part in putting the "infertile Caramel female" question to rest in a few years!!!
I am looking forward to this spring in the hopes that my ever-growing CM boy will breed for me. I have some pretty codom girls waiting for his "lusty advances".
I will update CM group as they grow. They are one of the few morphs that get DRAMATICALLY better with age.
Thanks for looking.
