I got 6 normals out of breeding to mojave, spider, and pastel males.
My mistake was moving in may..... never again!!!!
I'm hoping this year the odds catch up and I find something unexpected in my collection!!!

Since my first BP clutch is still cooking, I'll mention my corn snake clutch
I bred a snow corn to an amel corn and got 2 snow corns, 1 reverse okeetee and 5 amels. Meaning the amel was het for anery in order to produce snows

My first season I had 8 eggs, Pastel x Normal, 4 eggs died. I hatched 4 normals.

Best for me was probably my Lesser x Lesser clutch. 6 eggs, 2 lucy's, 1 lesser and 3 normals. The normals bummed me out a little, but I won't complain about a clutch that has two lucy's.

My other good clutch last year was a pair of het caramels. 8 egg clutch and I got 3 caramels. I have not had any unbelievably good clutches yet, but I am happy with just hitting the expected odds. Last season I had 12 eggs from Lesser to normals and wound up with ONE lesser. Would have been nice if it happened the other way around.

I think the ball gods initiated me last year. Two pastel clutches. One with six eggs - 1.1 pastels, 2.2 normals. The other with four eggs - 2.2 normals.

I also had a possible het clown clutch, 3.1 possy hets. :(

Hoping for better odds this year - I've tried really, really hard to be good this year! :oops:

Last year my high contrast albino male and het albino female breeding produced 6 eggs; 2.3 albinos and 1.0 het albino. I also had a butter female who was bred to a bee male and a lemon blast male produce 1.0 queen bee (spider, pastel, butter), 1.0 lemon blast, 0.1 pastel butter, 0.1 pastel and 1.0 butter.

I've also had to pay the ball pythons gods back for those great clutches. Bee X normal = 5 eggs; 1.0 pastel, 2.2 normals. Spider x normal = 7 eggs; 2 survived, 2.0 normals. :(

I hope everyone who is breeding this year has a great season!

I had a 9 egg clutch last year that hatched out 6 pastels and 3 normal... the catch, the pastels were 5.1...
