Beating the odds...

Tell us about your best clutches when you beat the odds(Example: You bred a lesser to a mojave and got 3 Lucies and one lesser out of 4 eggs).

How about your worst clutch ever(you bred a lesser to a mojave and get 4 normals out of 4 eggs).

I had one clutch from a pastel to spider and out of seven eggs I ended up with four bumblebees, 2 males and 2 females, and three female pastels. I was pretty excited.

Did you buy a lottery ticket that day!!?

It was a couple years ago when I produced that clutch, and it felt like I won the lotto.

I'll get back to you in about 40 days.;)

...too sum it up. I bred a 'normal' to a 'pastel' and got 3 hypos out of 4 eggs. :P

I knew that they werent pastels, but the chances of what had happened, actuall occurring are like 1 out of 100. SO I was in denial and I was calling them Pastels even in my first post. :rofl:


EDIT: ....oh ya....they were all females :)

I came close to that. Here's a five egg clutch from mojave x lesser:

Two days later I hatched a clutch from a normal female bred to three different co-dom males. The clutch started out with four eggs, one died during incubation and the three that hatched were all normals. I guess I used up all my luck on the leucistic clutch :D

I bred a spider male to a Normal female last year...Got 11 eggs and only three normals. :D
To make things better all the normals were female and the spiders were 4.4

Wow! Maybe my new het clowns will actually be double het for clown and ghost. LOL

Jeff, great clutch, I can't wait to add the BEL gene to my collection.
