CD Constrictors 2014-2015 Breeding Thread

On the 4th day of his "rotation" the 1.0 Enchi Pied has locked his 2nd female straight. Fresh sheds from our other males placed in with the females when pairing him has seemed to wake him up. This is this couples 3rd pairing... and the first with a fresh shed from another male gets us a lock ;) Here he is this morning locked up with a proven 0.1 100% Het Pied. She laid our first clutch of last season in March (400+g over pre-lay weight now) and has huge follicles already.

Somehow we missed getting a picture of him locking our proven 2010 0.1 Pastel a few days ago. He is still eating great between his rotations and is hanging at 900g.

First year virgin 2012 0.1 Firefly introduced to our new 1.0 VPI Axanthic Pinstripe. Looking to make some nice Axanthic Het combos here :gj: Getting to know each other here....

Looks like you have a very exciting year planned. Best of luck!

After 36 hours of straight rain and with a cold front rolling in, we decided to leave everyone paired up one extra day. I knew before I opened her tub they were locked up. Her head was pinned up against the tub wall.... lol!!

Payoff!!

It seemed as though we were running late pairing this year, but checking yesterday we have 17 pairs locked up so far this season. This counts 4 females that absorbed last season. We paired 25 females last season and had 17 clutches.

We are waiting on a few males to mature a bit and get to size before we really kick into full gear. It is not easy to let 10- 15 females sit and wait on these young boys, but the females are later layers (or virgins), are still building and eating, so we have time..... breathe, relax, be patient. Not easy :rolleyes:

1.0 GHI Mojave- 375g (0.1 YB, 0.1 Pastel, 0.2 Pinstripe and maybe a Normal or two)
1.0 Sugar FireFly- 510g (0.1 Pinstripe, 0.1 YB, 0.1 Enchi and a few Normals)
1.0 Banana Pinstripe dinker- 505g (0.1 Enchi, 0.1 Spider, and a few Normals)
1.0 Banana dinker- 400g (0.1 Pinstripe, 0.1 LemonBlast and a few Normals)
1.0 Black Pewter 525g (Pastel and maybe an Albino- depending on how our Black Pastel Pied matures)
1.0 VPI Enchi 100% Het Ax- 500g (one job... a 3300g 0.1 VPI 100% Het Ax- 10 egg layer, so we are hedging our bets on odds here on a Het x Het pairing)

We are holding on to one of the 1.0 Black Pastel Pieds we just produced. Hoping he can get to size for a 0.1 Albino who laid late in August last season. If not, his sire is hitting clean-up, but we'd like 100% DH Black Pastel Albino Pieds with the little guy :gj:

Looking like we will be pairing 40- 50 females this season. A few smaller 2012 females (1200- 1400g range) really stepped up eating after we paired them once. 2012 0.1 FireFly has taken 3 meals since she locked with the 1.0 VPI Pinstripe Axanthic!!

Grats on the Axanthic Pin getting it done for you Corey. Good luck with him and the other pair.

Enchi Het is eating great!! Just shed yesterday and ate. A few more meals and once the big girl sheds out, he is going in :gj:

Some pairings we threw together, a few additions, a look at the new incubator and some holdbacks from this season ;)
