First year not going so well...
This is my first year breeding balls, and out of 4 clutches only 2 hatched with no problems. I had the weird maggot issue with #3 and then I decided to cut #4 tonight on day 62. This clutch was from my female pastel x 3 males: pastel, spider, cinny. Out of 5 eggs 4 were fully formed but dead. Fingers crossed that the last one makes it, it appears to be a super pastel. Oh well, there's always next year. As for the corns... 110 hatched so far with 4 more clutches still to hatch :O

Wow, that really sucks. Im so sorry to hear you've have a rough year. I hope it gets better for you.
Congrats on the corns though. I like corns, have 3 myself and planning on breeding them when they are big enough. Have at least one more year to go :P
Re: First year not going so well...
Thanks, I was hoping for a better turn out but you never know. Hopefully next year will be better. My black pastel female is right at 1200 now and I just picked up a black pastel male for her.
I have WAY too many corns. I have about 80 ready to go... and haven't posted the first ad. Call me lazy :)
Re: First year not going so well...
Sorry to hear about this.
You will learn, as you probably have learned with corns, some years are better than others....
This is my 5th year breeding balls...and probably has been my worse to date. I have lost a pied clutch and a cinnamon clutch so far this year...hopefully next year goes a bit better for the both of us. :)

Update on clutch #4... none of them made it. I thought the super pastel was gonna be ok, but lost it too. Dang and this was a killer clutch... 1 normal, 2 pastels, 1 super pastel, and a pewter.:(

That stinks, sorry about your loss!
