    Last clutch hatched

    Well, the hatching season is over here. I got only 3 clutches of eggs from the balls(plus the tegu lizard clutch - see other thread), and I ended up with all poss hets, or normals.

    Clutch #1 : 11 eggs, 7.4 poss het clowns. I originally thought it was 5.6, but a recheck showed more hemipenes.. bummer. I already sold 5 of these as normals locally. All sold had fed 3 times.

    Clutch #2 : 3 eggs, 1.2 poss het pieds. 1 has shed so far, and the other two are about to. These 3 hatchlings weighed in at 64-67 grams each, and were just FAT looking.

    Clutch #3 : 5 eggs, unsexed so far. These hatched slightly early(by my oft-faulty calander) and all 5 are fat heathy looking normals. I hoped for spiders or pastels, but unless someone is the lousiest pastel ever.. all normal.

    So, a disappointing year for morph production, BUT.. I did have 100% hatch rate. Also, 9 of the 11 egg clutch ate the first try on rat pinks. I only have ONE holdout who hasn't fed from clutch #1.
    Clutch #1 was also full of fancy patterns, almost like black pastels, without the chocolatey coloration.

    Re: Last clutch hatched

    Too bad about the odds, but congrats on all the plusses and the victories.

    Must feel great everytime you hatch out a healthy babe... and you JUST know those two females are het pieds.
