    Pewter Spot x Firefly clutch is hatching!!
    This clutch was a "Who's your Daddy" between a Butter Spinner and a Pewter Spotnose to our Firefly girl... Was really hoping our Pewter Spotnose did the trick, I'd say it's safe to say he is now proven! So excited!!!

    Love seeing this when you open up the incubator!

    Love that head stamp!

    First hatchling is out of the egg! Thinking... Twilight, or is the headstamp too light? What do you guys think?

    So far I've seen a lot of yellow, one almost white little head and a spotnose headstamp, can't wait to see what crawls out!!!
    I feel like a kid in a candy store, lol!
    Will grab some more photos tomorrow!!

    Awesome stuff! Anything with spotnose in it is sweet in my book!

    Keep us posted as they emerge.

    Thanks everyone!

    Not much action over night... A couple more came out of the egg and another two are almost out.

    Never a dull moment when stuff is hatching though. Was busy with the clutch mentioned in this thread when I noticed another littlce face in another egg box,

    Thanks Stephanie! This has been an exciting one for me, very pleased that our Pewter Spotnose ended up being the one that sired this clutch. Doesn't look like any "5" gene animals :rolleyes:, but we ended up with some neat looking stuff! Looking forward to seeing them all out of the egg and shed out!

    Cleaned them off and letting them soak up the sun in the incubator... will snap some pre shed shots, get them sexed and weighed for the weekend!

    I'm gonna go with 2 Super Pastels, Cinnamon Spotnose Fire, Pewter Spotnose Fire, Fire Spotnose, Fire Cinnamon, and maybe a Firefly Spotnose? Either way, that's one hell of a clutch! They look amazing.

    Thanks Luke.

    Yeah we were up in the air about some of these hatchlings, mainly the top row.

    Top left. Originally we had thought Pewter Spotnose, but the snake has a total absense of yellow which led me to believe we may have a Pewter Spotnose Fire. I have never seen an example of that morph though, so no point of reference.

    Top Middle. Looks like a Spotnose Cinnamon, however the light head-stamp and coloration of the sides of the animal made me think Spotnose Cinnamon Fire

    Top right. Pastel Spotnose.... Spotnose Firefly maybe

    Bottom Left. Fire Cinnamon and Fire Spotnose

    Bottom Right. Super Pastels

    To be perfectly honest, I've had a harder time identifying these guys than I had expected so appreciate the input.

    Great clutch! Congrats!

    Sorry I should have gone in order, but I believe you're right on your assessments. I'd say Firefly Spotnose, just because of how the pattern is a bit more messed up with less white on the sides as a Pastel Spotnose.

    One hell of a clutch either way. I love seeing more and more Spotnose combos!

    Top left: Pewter Fire Spotnose
    Top middle: Cinnamon Spotnose Fire
    Top right: Firefly Spotnose
    Middle and bottom right: Super Pastels
    Bottom left: Fire Cinnamon
    Bottom middle Spotnose Fire.
