Such an exciting season for me

This season I got 3 clutches. Two have hatched and the third just started hatching today. These are the results of the current clutches....

Clutch #1
Sire - Auxy (Spider)
Dame - Sadis (Normal)
# Eggs - 5
Results - 2.1 Normals, 0.1 Spider (1 egg died due to the clutch falling out of the incubator. All four babies are eating well and growing)

Clutch #2
Sire - Auxy (Spider) - also bred a pastel but no multi-sire clutch this time
Dame - Juji (Pinstripe)
# Eggs - 5
Results - 0.1 Pinstripe, 0.1 Spider, 0.1 Normal, 1.1 Spinners

Clutch #3 is beginning to hatch.
Sire - Thriller (Pastel)
Dame - Ari (Spider)
Through candling I believe there to be two hatchlings with spider like patterning and two with normal patterning. The one that has cut its egg is either a pastel or a normal. I think there is at least one bumblebee in the clutch. I'll post pictures as the hatching progresses.

Very exciting! You'll have to post a pic or two of your spinners, I missed those!

I'll get a picture of them today. They have shed, so now I'm just waiting for them to eat for the first time. First try was a no go. The male spinner was really interested in the mouse but had no idea what to do with it. :rolleyes:

I snapped a few pictures of Ari's clutch. We are very excited.

First baby out - pastel (I believe it is female)

This season has taught me that ball python eggs are much tougher than we give them credit for. I had one clutch fall out of the incubator, having one egg split open and 4 out of 5 of those babies hatched. Irene came through and knocked out my power for 5 days and the incubator had no power. A clutch with a few days to go and a clutch with almost 3 weeks to go survived constant temperatures during those 5 days of around 75 and all have hatched pretty much on time.

And I'm loving my odds this year. I'm hoping at least one of those bumblebees is a female. If so, raise her up for a few years, produce a male axanthic next year and I'm on my way to axanthic killerbees.

Second one out is a male pastel. I'll post pictures this evening when I get home from work. :D Now I'm just waiting on those darn bumblebees.

Great odds on two of the clutches. Its also good to know that the minor bumps during the incubation didn't have a drastic effect on them congrats!!!!
