It's been a long time coming, but they're finally here!
I have been resisting the urge to post every single progression detail about my breeding experience but now I am finally going to let it all out! I first attempted breeding a while back my normal female to a lemon pastel, but she fell ill and I let her recover and give additional time to grow even more. In that time I sold my pastel male, and bought a bee. My first favorite morph!
I waited till breeding season in the winter (November 2011) and they paired fast, and often!

About December they stopped locking, and soon after she started building.

By the way, that axanthic is nice, how big is she?
Thanks! I will def send some luck over! I don't need it till my next clutch whenever that will be, so good luck! The axanthic is nearing 400gs pretty quick, I will eventually pair her with a spider or pastel het axanthic, or if I'm really lucky a bee het axanthic. My next favorite morph!
Re: It's been a long time coming, but they're finally here!
This clutch couldn't have been more perfect! Of the females I got 2 pastels, 1 spider, and 1 bee! (the keeper). The Males 2 spiders and 1 bee! Also another great thing is that the male bee father has a slight wobble to him and so far none of the baby spiders/ bee have shown no evidence of having a wobble! Yesterday was feeding day and 2 of them have ate so far! All this is why I love my snakes and this hobby! Experiencing all this first hand has been phenomenal!
Here are some pictures post shed except for one spider. Now to pick up something cool at the upcoming san jose expo to continue this great hobby!
