I feel like you got some ovulation a pretty early! I have one girl that looks like she might ovulate soon :)

This is the beginning of the Albino pairings.

First introduction with evidence of a lock. He will see 3 more females and his job will be done.

Enchi Albino x Albino

Enchi Fire x Champagne 100% Het Ghost. Much brighter Champagne from Dave Green than the previous pairing. Same male has locked both females and we're curious to see how the hatchlings will differ.

Thanks!

We are nearing the end of new females to pair. This week we are pairing our remaining 0.2 Normals with our Sugar Fire and Enchi Fire. Albinos have started pairing and we have a few longshot girls that may go late..... Firefly, Lemonblast and a few Pinstripes.

New couple:

Sugar Fire x Normal 11F2 (one of my favorite males)

And our Pastel finally really did ovulate today!! She had me fooled last week, but this is a no brainer.

The sugar fire and enchi fire are both awesome looking! Looking good man

Breeder girls are solidly off feed and follicles are growing.

2nd Enchi Albino x Albino lock and she feels to have 8 nice quarter sized follicles.

Sitting here waiting on a pre lay shed from Sugar Fire x Pastel pairing who ovulated on 12/13/13.

Happy New Year!!!

With temps dropping into the 40's overnight here the last few weeks the snake pit dropped to 65F ambient yesterday without any heat source. We purchased a radiant oil heater for $69 at Lowes to remedy the problem. The heater and IR gun are within 1F.

Temps went from 65F to 80F within a few hours. Nice little heater.

Looks like we missed the ovy on this 0.1 Het Pied girl recently as we have been so busy. Did not lock this week and there appears to be ~6 eggs in her belly. Paired exclusively with a 1.0 Black Pastel 100% Het Pied.

http://i254.photobucket.com/albums/h...ps4de2d904.jpg

Glad to see the het pied is doing well for you, good luck!

Had to give this one a shot.... was locked with her 4 hours after pairing.

Very nice

Also put this video in the "Pictures" forum, but just wanted to keep followers of this thread on track with our current progress this season.

It sounds like you're set up to have a really nice season! I'm glad that spider is breeding well for you! She was always a great eater for me so it's no surprise she's up to weight already.

Our 0.1 Pastel is 5 days past her due date to lay eggs. Looks like she needs another week or so still.

We have placed some overstock snakes on our Facebook page and the website will be updated shortly.

New pairing. Have not seen visual locks using our 1.0 Albino Enchi with this big 2500g 0.1 Albino, so we threw little Banana at her.

He had her locked inside 3 hours :gj:

http://i254.photobucket.com/albums/h...psd0bee10f.jpg

0.1 Pastel is sitting at 47 days post ovy shed!! She absorbed last year, but was bred this year to a 1.0 Sugar Fire and 1.0 Enchi Pastel. I have never had a female hold out this long. Hurry up already!!

0.1 100% Het Pied to 1.0 Black Pastel 100% Het Pied is sitting at day 30 looking just fine.

Plenty of females ready to ovy in March :gj:

Woke up this morning to a new couple locked on their first pairing.

1.0 Enchi Pastel x 0.1 Pinstripe

http://i254.photobucket.com/albums/h...pse89518a0.jpg

Both of those girls need to go ahead and give you some eggs!

I forgot you grabbed up Breanna's spider! She's a pretty girl, glad she's putting her genes to good use!

Looking like this 0.1 Pastel is about to ovy any day (sorry for the cell pic). Ovy'd last year in March, and gave us 7 nice eggs, so she is right on schedule. Nice that she is 500g over last seasons weight!!

This will be the first Banana clutch this season :gj:

http://i254.photobucket.com/albums/h...psb4364932.jpg

One of her first of 6 locks with the Bananas:

http://i254.photobucket.com/albums/h...ps1ff34337.jpg

First visual lock with this female..... (we suspect the Albino Enchi has locked her, but no visual with him yet). Very comforting to see a visual lock with her :gj:

0.1 100% Het Albino x 1.0 Albino Pinstripe

http://i254.photobucket.com/albums/h...psfab6326b.jpg

Finally we have caught him in the act!!

Enchi Albino x Albino :gj:

http://i254.photobucket.com/albums/h...ps37dcb279.jpg

OK.... so after a long wait, here is the Pastel x Banana ovy. This will be the first Banana clutch. Second Banana clutch is a race between a nice reduced Normal and a Proven Spider.

First pic is about 8pm last night. Second pic is 8am this moring. Looks like we missed the "peak" of the bulge, but she surely ovy'd. Ovy was 11 days earlier than last year....

http://i254.photobucket.com/albums/h...psbdffbf25.jpg

http://i254.photobucket.com/albums/h...pscfcc5115.jpg

Very Nice!

Took a peek this morning and lots of girls are really building here. Some probably weeks and maybe days from an ovy......

Sorry for the crappy cell pics.... did not plan on a photo shoot this morning!!


0.1 Proven 100% Het Albino (to Enchi Albino and Pin Albino)

http://i254.photobucket.com/albums/h...ps665f4c5c.jpg

0.1 Butter (to Mojave). This girl is ready to burst any day!

http://i254.photobucket.com/albums/h...psa6d13283.jpg

0.1 Proven Spider (to Bananas)

http://i254.photobucket.com/albums/h...psc4d0f0e1.jpg

0.1 Fire 100% Het Clown (to Butter 100% Het Clown)

http://i254.photobucket.com/albums/h...ps82e877ed.jpg

0.1 Champagne 100% Het Ghost (to Enchi Fire)

http://i254.photobucket.com/albums/h...psa5dc8646.jpg

0.1 Normal (to Bananas). This is my favorite Normal. Also ready to burst any day!

http://i254.photobucket.com/albums/h...psa81edd6a.jpg

0.1 Proven Pied (to Black Pastel 100% Het Pied). She looks tiny, but that is an 11" water bowl :gj:

http://i254.photobucket.com/albums/h...psb18a4c4a.jpg

0.1 Proven Albino (to Enchi Albino and Banana). Probably a few weeks off from an ovy.

http://i254.photobucket.com/albums/h...ps722d152c.jpg

0.1 Pinstripe (to Bananas).

http://i254.photobucket.com/albums/h...ps00ef7d67.jpg

And..... a girl that snuck up on us.....

0.1 Super Pastel- tipping the scale at 1350g now and has not been paired yet. Got to think of a good pairing for her!!

http://i254.photobucket.com/albums/h...ps14b70863.jpg

We also have a few more girls possibly coming online that may go late (right around 1200g now).... Pinstripe, Lemonblast and Firefly. All but a few males are probably getting tired and we will probably just wait till fall at this point. Our Enchi Pastel is probably the lowest used male that could handle all three of these girls. The Enchi Albino is also coming on strong if we want to make some Hets :gj:

Looking good dude....can't wait for hatchlings, wish we could just bypass the egg laying phase altogether.

Same here!!

One of the Fire Het Clowns ovy'd last night. I'll take an early clutch of anything Clown-ish :gj:

Need to get that other incubator fired up quick!!

Forgot the Ovy pic..... this was not the FHC pictured above. This girl was actually paired at the time she ovy'd and was locked earlier yesterday before she ovy'd.

Pairing was a 1.0 Butter 100% Het Clown x 0.1 Fire 100% Het Clown. Obviuosly slim odds at the first Nuclear clown, but we have one more shot with our other Fire 100% Het Clown :gj:

http://i254.photobucket.com/albums/h...ps0f5f72fc.jpg

And the sire... Butter 100% Het Clown (6 locks with this girl).

http://i254.photobucket.com/albums/h...psab67ea47.jpg

http://i254.photobucket.com/albums/h...ps706940e1.jpg

Awesome! Would be really cool to see you hit on those nuke clowns. Best of luck! :gj:

Thanks!!

1/16 odds the Nuke, but 1/4 of at least something Clown. If I see 4 eggs from each of the Fire girls I will be happy with the odds ;)

2012 Butter. I love it when the young girls ovy!! She is a plump 1600+g and had 8 nice follicles a few weeks ago. Paired to a Mojave (BEL's are what stimulated the interest in breeding) This is the only single gene pairing besides Bananas that we paired this season.

5th ovy so far with one clutch in the incubator and a Het Pied due to lay any day now :gj:

http://i254.photobucket.com/albums/h...ps964accb3.jpg

Calling this ovy tonight.

Paired to Enchi Albino and a Banana. Can't lose either way.

http://i254.photobucket.com/albums/h...ps367a19ed.jpg

Keep em comin Corey! :gj:

Second Fire 100% Het Clown ovy.

A handful more shots at a Nuclear Clown.

http://i254.photobucket.com/albums/h...ps2f1f9e7c.jpg

Another female online..... 1.0 Enchi Fire x 0.1 Lemonblast. Better late than never ;)

http://i254.photobucket.com/albums/h...ps55e854d2.jpg

No huge news here. Two clutches in the incubator and 8 more total females have ovulated and shed. Expecting to fill the new incubator with some more eggs soon.

The goal is to have a nice selection of hatchlings for my first show in Daytona in August. Looks like we will have no problem filling a few display cases on the table. Really hoping my Spider and Pinstripe girls go soon..... both to Bananas. Most exciting ovy I am looking forward to is my Super Pastel girl to my Sugar Fire. She is really close to an ovy :gj:

Really nice Corey....cant wait to see all the new babies!

Done pairing for the season with the exception of 0.2 late bloomers...... Super Pastel and LemonBlast :gj:

Congrats! You have some awesome pairings, and I can't wait to see what you produce!

I just read through your entire thread. I'm also very excited to see what you produce!

Proven 2010 Pastel comes through again. 1860g last season and gave me 7 eggs (all good). She got up to 2280g this season and gave 9 eggs to a Banana pairing. Actually paired to both my Bananas....

9 eggs (896g), all candle good. Mom is tucked away in a fresh tub after a shower :gj:

First two are cell pics.... crappy!! The last pic of a lock shows her colors a bit better. I'm so foolish to even have Pastels in my collection....lol!!

http://i254.photobucket.com/albums/h...ps427df6da.jpg

http://i254.photobucket.com/albums/h...ps1ff34337.jpg

Nice! Everyone can use a female like that in their collection

Fire Het Clown pumping out eggs this morning (looks to be about 5 eggs). Paired with a Butter Het Clown. Looking for the big Nuclear Clown :gj:

http://i254.photobucket.com/albums/h...psb5dabf3e.jpg

Video is processing. Pulled 5 good eggs from this first year girl..... 447g.

She was frisky this morning and took a swing at me. Used the hook...... having diabetes brings a new meaning to getting bit and fighting off a possible infection. She came off them just fine. Cleaned the tub and fresh bedding.

Mom is now 892g for a pre-lay weight of 1339g. Not bad since she gave me 5 eggs!!!

http://youtu.be/jWYgOE9mHLU

Says it is a private video O.o

LOL....Screw the hook throw a towel over her. Congrats, fingers crossed for some nuclear clowns.
