First ever clutch, unsure of health... help!

Thanks folks! We are still debating weather to try for another clutch from the same female/male, or throw our snow corn at her. Either way it'll be a bit before we try again with her.

Awesome, Good luck!!! Hope to one day breed corns. Please do update often

Congratulations on the clutch and those actually look pretty good for corn eggs. I've seen plenty that were a lot worse looking that still made it. Just make sure you keep them warm and the humidity up and you should be fine. You mentioned breeding her again though. Were you hoping for a double clutch this year or looking towards next year?

well its been a while, just over 60 days, but we had our first pip yesterday! We were super excited as we left to get crickets for the cresties. We came home, took a quick peek inside the incubator, and found the first pip completely out of its shell!!! The umbilical was still attached, so we took the snake and put it in a separate bin, with damp paper towel. This morning the umbilical has been dropped and its exploring! Can't wait for the first shed, along with the 12 other eggs to hatch :D

I'm thinking its a normal, but I really don't care as its the first baby produced by us. :D
Almost forgot, we didn't end up planning to re breed the mom this year, but it looks like she's gone ahead and double clutched anyways lol

They always look super cute at that size don't they? :wuv:

Yeah, even I have to admit that lol. I've always been more of a BP guy, not that I'm against corns, just not really my thing lol. But I'll admit this little one is growing on me :)

Gratz on the babies and yes, it's a normal, but it should be het for both amel and anery A from the parents. Unless one of your breeders is het for the gene the other carries, all of your babies should come out normal. That's one of the downside of corns in that everything is recessive so it can take awhile to get projects going. However, they are so cute at that age, it's worth it!

Yeah I have been doing a lot of reading on corn genetics, trying to catch that up to what I know about BPs lol. I guess I should have posted my other thread as a reply to this topic, but as it turns out, our male ghost must be het for amel because we have one little amel pipping out as of this morning. Quite exciting, as not only was it completely unexpected, but its also the first het we have proven out :D

Gratz again! I've noticed that almost all corns are het for something or another since the only morphs until a couple years ago were recessive. To this day, I think there is still only one dominant gene, the tessera. They make for a nice little surprise though!
