Clutch #1: Hatchlings are out =)
These are my first hatchlings for this season. It's a dual sired clutch. The results were 1.0 Pastel 50% Het Hypo and 1.1 Pastel Yellowbelly. I'm very happy with how the PYBs turned out. Their flames are very intense and i look forward to see them color up after a few sheds.
There were only 3 eggs in this clutch and i was hoping that i would get a 2+ gene combo female to hold back. I'm happy that i got what i wanted and i will hold back the female PYB =)

The breeding was female Pastel to male Ivory and male Super Pastel Lesser Het Hypo. When an Ivory is bred to a Pastel, the two possible outcomes are Yellowbelly and Pastel Yellowbelly, which leaves the Super Pastel Lesser as the sire for the Pastel.
I originally thought that the SPL would get the job done because he locked 7 times and the Ivory only locked twice. The Ivory is a 2010 though whereas the SPL is a 2012. Maybe age played a factor. I also had 2 slugs in the clutch and i blame the SPL for them lol.
