Enchis and Fires, 1st two clutches of the season... good and bad-ish odds.

I have had my first two clutches of the season hatch for me.

First clutch was fire and possible velvet (she is a normal afterall).

And then enchi and possible granite (she also did not prove out).

Hit OK odds on the fires, 2 (possibly 3) Fires and the rest normals, out of a six egg clutch.

And hit better odds on the enchi clutch. 6-8 out of 10 eggs are enchi.

The enchis are very busy patterned, I usually get lots of very reduced enchis, but mom was a faux granite and I was hoping for enchi granites so I was not selectively breeding for reduced patterns.

Either way I actually like their crazy patterns, I may have to pair with a few of my crazy patterned pastels when the time comes.

Two other clutches in the 'bator... Reduced Fires and Stinger Bees. I have my fingers crossed on each of those.

Thanks for looking,
Bruce

PS: Yes... it HAS been a long time.

Pretty average odds til those enchis decided to blow the roof off, nice clutch!

Hey stranger! :), looks like your prayers have been answered, great looking babies :)

Gee, it's been a long time;)

Beautiful babies Bruce! 'Bout time you showed your mug around here! Now sell some babies so you can get a decent computer and stick around more! :P

All of them are stunning:D!!

Here we go again... another morph ive never heard of lol. What in the world is a velvet?

Not too shabby! I am really liking bright enchi on the top left :)

The comp is fixed. :)

The old one is now a paperweight in the office, I am just waiting for the day that I get the urge to go at it with a bat... :taz:

I am not sure if Velvets have ever been proven genetic or not, they are more of a phenotype I believe. But this girl has photo ID'd as one by a few breeders that keep them before I bought her.

But I did not have high hopes she would prove out but I am the eternal opposite, when not being a carmudgeon.

Thanks for the nice words all.

Bruce

Beautiful little ones Bruce!

Oh and all the snakes are blue already, so looking forward to that first shed. :)

Mucho cuteness, :D

We get the post shed pictures yus?

And have you done anything with the het blue ghosts?


dr del

The het blues are the bane of my existence... first year bred, did not take, second year lost the clutch due to the fire and only one male survived, and no babes since... mom was building but then she re-absorbed last season.

I am still pairing him, but I think this is going to end up being a five year project just for babes, getting pretty disparaged, as I had such high hopes on the blues.

I really really really wanted a few het blue females.

Bruce

:hug:

You and me both.

I can't find anyone working with them this side of the pond at all. :(


dr del

I assume CP must import them, being that their associates this side of the pond have greens and blues (if I am not mistaken?)... that being said, if you were closer I would give you my boy. :)

As is, I assume I will end up having to buy my females from the same line that he came from... *grumble* *grumble*.

Congrats, awesome odds on the enchis!

Thanks... and so far the clutch is girl heavy it looks like. :)

One of the fires shed, she is gorgeous, but one of the enchis left the egg early dragging her sac behind her, found her dead of hardbelly. :(

Feels like a bad start to the season.
