Third year is a charm - I finally got my BEL!!

This is from my butter x mojo clutch. I cut on Monday at day 52 - there were 6 eggs and I had cut 5 and no BEL. So I was setting myself up that I wasn't getting lucky when the last and final egg was all white inside when I looked in. I was so stoked!

This is my third year trying to make a BEL and I finally did it! Two years ago I only got four eggs and got two mojos and two normals - terrible odds. Last year my male had no interest in breeding so I bred my mojo girl with a cinnamon instead. This year I had a butter male up to breeding size who turned out to be a super stud.

Anyways, just a teaser crappy iphone pic. Even though its taken three years, it is worth the wait! A couple have already come out, still waiting on it to come out.

I'm actually hoping he is a she! :D

I don't really have any use for a male BEL, though regardless of what it ends up being, I'm keeping it!

Sorry...My fingers are crossed for you and HER!

This year is technically my second attempt at a Super Mojo. My pair locked last year a few times, but she never laid. This year they are locking like crazy, so I am getting excited!

Big congrats on the BEL! These snakes are real beauties for sure!

Awesome! I really like super mojos and their "dirty" look they have. Best of luck to you - here's hoping you get to post a similar thread in a few months! :gj:

Congrats! I can't wait until it is me. :gj:

Congrats! Can't wait till she comes out! (hopefully a she!)

Gratz!! I'll be doing the same pairing this year. My female Mojave is still a little small but she's a picky mouser. I hope a little loving will get her appetite going.

Grats on the BEL I hope your luck holds out :)

Congrats! BELs are so pretty.

Big congrats, that's a dream snake for many of us!

Congratulations! My lesser and mojo cannot grow fast enough!

good job!!! BEL's are one of the snakes that you truely can't appreciate until you see one in person...

Congrats!! I hope it turns out to be a little lady for you!!

Congrats

I would be to impatient to wait but I know producing your one has got to be one of the best feelings.

Thanks everyone, another one is out, and guess who it's not!?! This guy is going to make me wait another few days before it decides to come out. :taz:

That is awesome! Even with the torture of waiting for it to emerge....you've got to be on cloud 9! Huge congrats!! Hope you get your girl....

Congrats on the BEL!

Very cool! Congrats! I can't wait to try my luck at a BEL! :gj:

Congrats! That would be one of the most exciting things to hatch!

Lucky you! :P

Well it was out this morning and unfortunately it's a he. Oh well, I'm still pumped and this guy is staying with me for sure! I'll find some project to plug him into (maybe my pewter female?). I'll post pics of the whole clutch once they're all out.

He is beautiful:pinkele: Congrats! Great payoff on a very long wait!

How exciting! Can't wait to see pics once it's out of the egg. :D

YAY!!! Congrats! :gj:

You are SO right! Grats even though it wasn't a girl! :P

Here he is!! My fiancee's mom is already calling him Casper when I showed her a pic of him, so I'm guess that name will probably stick.

Sorry, just another crappy cell phone pic, I'll take for real pics with the DSLR when he's shed.

He would go great with your savannah girl when she's ready
