Re: Worlds First hatched today!
Thanks for all the comments! I am very happy with this one.
It is in fact a female so it will be a few years before I can do anything with her but I have some big plans in store. I got lucky and the Orange Dream Stinger Bee 66% het. Orange Hypo is a male. I may look to prove him out unless someone gives me the right offer.
I am breeding my Hypo Dream male to the same 2012 Stinger Bee 100% het. Orange Hypo this coming season so I should hopefully hatch out a few more of these in the coming seasons along with an Orange Dream Stinging Bee (fingers crossed). I figure with it being a female I have at least 3 years before it will lay eggs so I have time to hatch out a male version and shoot for a Super OD Super Enchi Orange Hypo. Now that will be an unreal snake!
Eventually I would like to mix this into Pied and Clown But I currently own neither of these as I am small time breeder who wanted to build up a hypo army before taking on anything else. I think OD Enchi Hypo Clowns and Pieds would be unreal so I plan on adding candied clown and hypo pied females in the next few years to start working towards that goal. By the time they are grown up I should be on the brink of hatching a Super OD Super Enchi Hypo which will pair nicely to the clown and pied.
At the beginning I decided to stick to recessives and now that I am building up an increased stock of visual hypos and will continue to for another few years I feel like its time to work on some double recessive projects. Genetics are what got me into this hobby and it will be what continues to keep me interested. I'd like to move away from producing single gene animals and possible hets whenever I can within the next 2 years as I feel that is just the direction this hobby is going (with the exclusion of new genes).
I will be sure to add post shed photos once the clutch has shed. I have to say I'm looking forward to it.
Cheers,
