My first lesser baby.

I produced my first and only lesser baby this year. Didn't do too well, I bred my lesser male to 6 females but only 1 ovulated and laid eggs. She dropped 6 eggs, but 4 of them went bad within the first week. Last week, this little guy and a normal sibling popped out of the two remaining eggs. I was hoping for more this year, but at least he's a good looking little boy.

very nice.... here's to better odds next season.... :carouse:

Very nice Mark, he's a good looking little fella! Hopefully you hit better odds next year!:gj:

Mark that is super sweet! I didnt know you had them. Very nice! :gj:

I have been meaning to ask...Do you have pics of the axanthic-like adults you were talking about? And did you say they dropped a clutch for ya...?


Did I mention that is a NICE looking lesser? :P

hey..one is better than nothing, right?

congrats.

The baby looks so sweet, sending luck your way for next year.:gj:

Sorry about your odds, that's a smokin' baby though!

He looks great, any healthy little snake is a good one.:gj:

Thanks Josh, the one I was talking about is a wild caught male that I got several years ago that looks like it might be an old browned out axanthic, he's got a very un-normal color to him thats kind of hard to reproduce in pictures. I bred him to a couple of females this year, one clutch has already hatched and the other one is in the process of hatching now. The babies have a very distinct look to them and I'm not really sure what I've got if anything. I'll try to take some better pics tonight and post up another thread.
