    I had to get rid of them all :-(
    I wanted to keep my first female pastel I hatched however it died in its egg :-(
    otherwise I would have kept it.
    But I hope this season I will hatch out my
    Very first combo morph.

    Not sure which one was first out of the egg, from our first successful clutch (first clutch all died--only 2 of 9 made it full term. One was severely kinked/deformed. The other never pipped)... but I have one of the female mojos from that clutch.
    Lots of BPs, and still not enough!

    This is addictive...what did I get myself into?...

    In our first clutch we got 1 female Normal and 1 female Spider. We are going to hold back the Spider and the Normal is going to my sister for my niece and nephew!

    Re: What did you do?

    My first clutch was het albino to het albino. Seven eggs. Two albinos, five 66% hets. The albinos were females. I still have them today.

    My first year breeding was just all normals, so I didn't keep any.

    This is my first year producing morphs, so I will probably have a few holdbacks

    I can't keep up with what I have

    I hate using that term. Got rid of. It sounds so cruel.

    But to answer the question, I did sell all the offspring from my first successful clutch. I produced 5 babies from 6 eggs, 3 normals and 2 vanillas. Since I already have a male vanilla and both hatchlings were male, I did not keep one. If I had hatched a girl I would have kept her. This season I only plan on holding back a pied. If I am fortunate enough to produce one, and if it is the perfect 50/50 pied I dream about.

    0.1 het Pied - Toki | 0.1 het Pied - Mauro

    Wish I hatched out babies so I can participate.. But for my first clutch, I'm hoping to keep an enchi female, an enchi lesser female, or an enchi kingpin (male or female - hopefully male ).

    First clutch was pinstripe x normal, .5 pins and 1.1 normals.

    No brainer held back two female pins, sold one pin and both normals.
