2010 Clutch Contest Teaser

This will be the third annual Bailey Reptiles Clutch Contest coming this year. As I have leaked a little before now, it appears that we will actually have 2 contests. I got scared this year just breeding one female, because what would happen if she didn't go? So, I bred 2, as insurance that we would have a contest. Well, it looks like both girls are going to go. With that said, here is Female #1 having her ovulation. So, in about 45 days, the first contest will be underway. Keep an eye out for the contest thread.

p.s. This happens to be the same female that was the contest dame in 2009.

Here is the pic,

Congratulations, she is real pretty.

So the contest last year created quite the buzz including site traffic and new members.So I'm sure it will be an even bigger event this year.I only have one suggestion if possible you should do a live webcam feed on the eggs as they near the end of the incubation period.

She was bred by a whole bunch of male Ball Pythons.

Ditto! :gj:

She should be shedding soon, so be on the lookout in about 30-35 days.

I love this contest....Can't wait.:banana:

Not familiar with the contest, can someone fill me in with the details and such??


Thanks,
Gavin

I just love this time of year.

Thanks Tim for getting us all excited about the contest again this year!

This contest is where everyone gets one guess as the morph/sex/weight of the first hatchling to exit the egg of a clutch from various co-dom/dom morph males bred to a normal girl. First person with correct guess (make sure you don't guess the same thing as someone else) gets the snake.


I can't wait for the contest... :D

How many guesses do you get?

gg reading comprehension lol

Ccan canadians win?

wow this seems really interesting. I'll be waiting !!

Very cool Tim, Thank you again for doing this :salute::gj:

If anyone has questions about the rules, please search for the old contest posts. I am not going to spend a bunch of time answering questions about the contest in this thread, as the rules will be posted once the contest starts. Once the female lays, the contest will be posted in it's own thread, and the admin are usually kind enough to sticky it, so that it stays at the top of the sub-forum.

I just wanted to post a quick update. The female in the first post of this thread will be the #1 contest, and she just had her POS yesterday. The other female that will be in contest #2 this year started ovulating last week. So, the 2 contests will be pretty close together this year, and the first contest should start in about 30 days.

I am getting excited (or eggcited as some put it).

I think the web cam is a very very bad idea!!! Do you know how many hours will be lost staring intently at the computer waiting, watching for the first pip? People have been known to go mad waiting for eggs to pip.

rofl: I loved the last contest even though I didn't win. Can't wait to win this year.
