purple passions

I have 8 eggs from a phantom x mojave. they are due to hatch around aug 19. I been candling them and 3 are still growing pink. I think that they should be purple passions.
I have them marked and will know soon if this also works with a phantom x mojave breeding. has anyone candled for purple passions or mystic potions and had any luck telling before they hatched?

Don't mean to rain on your parade but don't get too excited, color always comes in last! Good luck though!

Yeah color does come in last, so it's hard to say. You can always cut them before they pip to find out...

The only time I have heard of people being able to get an idea of whats in an egg before it hatched were BELs and high white pieds. I have never heard of this with passions and potions. However I would love to see the results of this clutch! Good luck! :gj:

I have candled albinos, and bels clutches before. was able to tell on those before they hatched. albinos about day 35 and the bels were harder and around day 45. I have 8 phantom to mojave eggs. 5 are dark and 3 are glowing pink like the albinos and bels do. I know the color comes in last, I do cut eggs, but I wait until they are about ready to pip. I'm 100% correct when I candle like this (many clutches), but this is the first for the phantom x mojave clutch. I will post pics for everyone and the results. this site is about learning and that's why I posted this. fingers cross, don

Good luck! Love me purple passions!

cut the eggs on 8/16 and the three I had marked are purple passions. I'll get pics up as soon as they poke their heads out. this also proves out my male phantom! :D

Here are some pics of them still in the egg, 1, 2 , 3 are the passions and 4, 5 are mojaves or phantoms and 6, 7, 8 I think are normals. won't know for sure until they come out of the egg. didn't want to bother them too much. thanks for looking. the one in the last pic has a little bit of an attitude! :O

Wow! That's an amazing looking animal.

That guy is smoking! I will be doing albino x het albino and het pied x het pied this year. If I got this down somewhere around the 35-45 day mark I will see pink instead of dark on the albinos and the pieds?

on the albinos at about 89 degrees day 30 to 35. bels were harder. around day 42 to 45, reason i think is the het albinos are pretty dark normal. if you get a lesser or mojave they are blushed. which helps in keeping the egg pink longer before they will start to darken. with the clutch I just had the 3 passions stayed pink. the normals darken first and the 2 phantom/mojaves cause of the blushed sides stayed pink longer but also darken after the normals.

in my egg tub, I use the light grid and water. I use glad press n seal not saran wrap and I also place a lid over the press n seal. I have very good humidity and opening the tub to candle isn't a problem. I can open my tubs every day and my eggs stay full, no sagging.

when you first start candling at the beginning of incubation, all the eggs will glow pink. with albino for example, when the hets start getting their color. they will start to darken ( less pink every day ). the albino won't. around day 30 you can really see this. and day 35 you pretty much know for sure.

so candle your eggs thru incubation mark your finding down, and then when the hatch, compare your finding to what comes out. I been 100% so far, with over 10 clutches.

Congrats man, Purple Passions are one of my favorite morphs! (Hoping to make my own here soon)
