pied update
unfortunately I wound up losing two eggs from the kingpin, but the remaining six still look good. a nice consolation prize was my female pied putting five on the floor this weekend. she's a small 2009, so five was a solid effort. whatever else may happen this season, I have to credit my luck with getting two virgin females to lay a total of 13 eggs with no slugs within two weeks of each other. piebald came courtesy of Adam Chandler (Showcase Serpents), ivory poss. het pied from JKR.
the kingpin clutch hatched a few days early (no complaints) and it looks like the firefly sired the entire clutch. I need to wait until everyone sheds out, but from the looks of it I believe I hatched two nuclear pastels (fire x lesser x pastel); one firefly; one lesser pastel; and one pastel. one nuclear pastel hatched from an egg with a deceased twin inside and had a slight umbilicus issue to boot, but she should pull through just fine.
again, this is my first clutch so any input, opinions, eyes more discerning than mine, etc. more than welcome. my timing is very unfortunate, as I might have to part with all of my 2013 hatchlings in favor of a job opportunity, but for now I'm quite enjoying it.
