My first Ultramels!

Can't complain about these odds! This started out as a 5 egg clutch from my het ultramel pair. I felt pretty good about my chances of hitting at least one Ultra. Then, about half way through incubation, two eggs went bad. At that point I was thinking that I would probably end up getting nailed and end up with no visuals. I candled them at about day 40 and two of them looked much lighter than the 3rd. That gave me hope but I figured it would be too good to be true. When I cut them last week I was definitely excited to see that I actually did hit on two. These are my first Ultramels and I think they may already be my favorite of any snakes that I have hatched so far. Ended up with 1.1 Ultramels.

Awesome! Nice job hitting the odds when they were against you!

Beautiful, simply stunning. I'd tell you great job, but I know it was out of your hands. Congratulations on hitting the odds!

NICE man!! Love those things..

Congrats great odds 1.1 pair wow. Beautiful babies love me some ultramels.

Wow, when they coined the phrase "two out of three ain't bad" they weren't kidding! Big congrats! :gj:

I was actually hoping for 2.0. Would have made it way easier to let one go, but I definitely can't complain about a female. I am just glad I got my male so I won't have to be making any more possible hets. I have 7 possible het females from last season that I can't wait to prove out.

Very nice, congrats John!

Huge congrats :D

The hard part is deciding if you're going to let the female go, right? Always a tough decision!

I would to have that male...:D

They look great! Congrats

SO jealous! Congrats.

sweet man I just wish I could afford the hets before they about 200 a pair( for100% hets then)
I hate being limited to what I can get cause of their caost ( with me on disablity and no spending money )
Side note I have over a trash bag worth of rats in the freezer but they are boa/ larger python size and I not got my trash can anymore.

Yea that is the tough part. Makes it worse that I like the pattern on the female better, but I am probably going to have to let her go. My season has not went too well so I am going to have to let some things go that I would normally keep. For some reason most of my breeder females decided to take this year off.

How much would that male go for? Not really asking what you sell for just wondering what the going price is. I just really love that color and was curious so I can find a way to convince my wife I need one of these

Congrats! I'm only looking at hets this year myself but can't wait to get some girls up to size and make some as nice as these!
