Has anybody paired some corns up?
I decided to pair my normal with my amel motley. He doesn't have any known hets, but with how common amel is, I'm expecting some amels at least. I paired them up on the 19th of march, so she has about 3 weeks before she lays. That is, if that pairing was succesful. They've had 4 or 5 succesful pairings since then. She is getting chubby in her back half, but I might just be seeing things. It's really exciting!
So has anybody else had some cool pairings? Or even have babies already? (I know I was pretty late in the season)

My oldest/biggest female still isn't big enough! She's about 18 months old and 250ish grams. I'm going to be pairing her (A bloodred het Hypo/Lavender/Motley PH amel and caramel) to her future boyfriend (Hypo Lavender PH Motley) to start off my hypo lavender bloodred project. If my male isn't ready (he's my smallest and youngest) then I will pair her to my anery motley Het amel male to see if I can't prove out her het amel. I also have a snow motley female who's about 175g or so and she'll be paired with the anery motley whens he's big enough. I also have a Miami girl that I'm looking into purchasing a REALLY nice Miami boy for.

Oh and here's one to show how little these worms truly are. Also I have basically the smallest hands in the world so take that into account :P

That can't be right because they only take around 60 days to hatch!
His girl hasn't laid yet. He thinks she'll drop her eggs in about 3 weeks.

That's my biggest concern. It's been 26 days from the first succesful pairing, and I'm not really seeing significant sweling yet.. Should it be obvious by now? I'm not good at feeling for the eggs either..
They don't ovulate in the sense that BP's do really. There won't be massive swelling and some girls done even appear gravid. My big normal girl's only sign was she'd refuse her meal the week she'd lay. As soon as she refused, I'd put her lay box in. Never failed.

Talk about a surprise! Very nice!
