Bailey & Bailey Clutch Contest

I am still at work, but Monica just called me and let me know that we have a "pipper" in the clutch. So, as the rules stated, we will cut all of the eggs this evening. I will post some pics tonight of the "pipper", and of the eggs cut. Stay tuned, IT'S GETTING EXCITED!

Can I cheat and call Monica to see if I won. :D

Excellent news! Good luck, everyone!

No. I already asked her what it is, and she isn't sure. Also, the rules state, that the first one OUT is the one that counts. This will probably be the first one, but you never know.

Exciting stuff! So we get to see what's in all of them, and pray our choice comes out first! That's cruel and unusual punishment, I like it! :D

I had to look back to see what my choice was. This is getting exciting now! :)

So excited to see what you get. I've seen so many gorgeous snakes in your collection!:)

Damn -- if she isn't sure it's probably not my bumblebee and I'm betting money it's the sulfur that was my second choice that I passed on. :weirdface

Luckily on my spinner clutch -- the first one to pip was the last one out so I guess there's still hope - LOL

:banana::banana::banana:

Sooooo excited!

I finally got home this evening, and had to survey the clutch. Here is a pic of the clutch when I pulled it out of the incubator.

Here is a close-up of the first "pipper". Upon initial inspection I thought it was a Mojave. You tell me!

Lastly, I'll put up the pic of the entire clutch after cutting the eggs. First I would like to congratulate myself, since I accomplished my goal with this clutch. I wanted to hatch my first clutch of eggs this year that was sired by 3 males. That goal was accomplished, and we MIGHT have even hit on 4 sires. There was a bit of sadness in the clutch. If you look closely at the egg in the top right corner, it is a dead Cinnamon in the egg. It appears to have died somewhere around day 2-45 by my estimates. The rest of the clutch count is as follows:
1 Mojave
1 Cinnamon
1 Sable
2 Appear to be Normal
1 That might be a Sulpher or a Normal. (We have to wait for this one to crawl out).

We will be watching the clutch like a hawk, to see who emerges first. I have a feeling that it will be at least Friday before we can announce a winner. More pics will follow.

patience... grasshopper for I have seen the future and it is a female mojave about 82 grams

Darn! My guess of a female lemon blast is wrong. Congrats on the multiple sire clutch Tim.

Any updates? I've been squirming all day long wanting to know who crawls out first.

crawl little mojo crawl!!

We've been checking about every thirty minutes or so. For the longest time, I thought it was going to be the Cinny. Then this morning the cinny was back in the egg, and the Sable was out. Then back in. They are like yo-yos. They come half way out, then back in. Right now there is a Normal half way out, and the maybe Sulpher half way out. I thought I knew which was going to be first, but every time I look they change positions. I expect it to be any time now. I hope it is soon, because I don't want to stay up all night to ensure that the contest rules are upheld. But whatever I got to do, that's what I'll do.

Stay tuned, it could happen any minute.

Hi,

Wouldn't want you to lose your nights sleep Tim (yeah I picked spider :P ) .

Do you have a webcam or similar you could rig up? Then you could just fast forward the tape in the morning. :gj:

I'm not even in the running and I'm on the edge of my seat!

It crawled out sometime between 1:45am and 7:15am. I have included a pic of the clutch as of this morning. The Normal has since crawled out, and is a male. The Sable still has some of it's tail in the egg. There is some bad news in the clutch (this really tore me up last night when I checked), but the Mojave(which was the first to pip) has died in the egg. When I cut the eggs after it pipped, it still had the entire yolk in the egg with it. I have yet to pull the snake out and look closer to find out what happened. However, I have included a pic of the Mojave still in the egg, and you can see all of the yolk still in there.

However, with all of that said, the winner is a Cinnamon Male weighing in at 46.9 grams. The winner is Trevor. I am still not sure why this snake is on the smaller side, as he absorbed most of his yolk (very liitle left), and came out of a fairly average sized egg. In the sake of fairness (although it wasn't in the rules, but will be next year), we will give the winner 10 days to contact us and give us all of their info. If on the eleventh day, we still have had no contact, the runner-up(next closest guess to weight) will be announced as the winner.

Here are the pics.

Thanks for playing. I hope everyone had a great time, and keep an eye out for the contest this upcoming breeding season. It should be much more fun, as he have plenty more males to throw in the mix this season.

Thanks for the chance at a snake Tim! Sorry to hear you lost another one from the clutch,

A big CONGRATS to Trevor on his win!!:gj: :banana:
