Seventh Annual Bailey Reptiles Clutch Contest!!!

The Seventh Annual Bailey Reptiles Clutch Contest is Here!!!

This is the seventh annual Bailey & Bailey Reptiles Clutch Contest. First of all, I would like to thank the wonderful admin here at BP.net for allowing us to hold this contest on their site. With that said, I asked and was granted permission by the BP.net Staff to hold this contest on their site (contests are only allowed by permission). As per the Admin of BP.net, any and all Staff members (this includes Admins and Moderators) are not allowed to participate in the contest (they are however encouraged to guess just for fun).

PLEASE READ EVERYTHING BEFORE POSTING!!!

The contest will work like this. The person that correctly guesses the phenotype (appearance)(more than one gene involved is a possibility, i.e. Double co-dominant or double dominant) and gender of the first snake “OUT OF THE EGG” will win that snake. In the event that more than one person has guessed the phenotype and gender, the person closest to the actual weight will prevail. Therefore, make sure that a hatchling weight guess is included in your post. Everyone is allowed ONE guess. Your guess needs to include phenotype, gender and weight. Although there is a possibility that the babies of this clutch could be carrying (i.e. Het or Poss Het) some recessive genes, I will not require that to be included in your guess, as I won’t know for sure if it is carrying them or not. Please do not PM me with your guess, just include it in a response to this thread. Due to the possibility of there being legal ramifications (of which I can find no laws in the state of Louisiana) we are not going to take the chance of giving away a live animal. Therefore, we will sell the animal to the winner for the whopping sum of $1 plus actual shipping charges (Note: If you are attending a show that we will be at, we can deliver the animal to you, as we have done that in the past). We do have our export permits, but due to the cost involved with shipping international packages, I cannot honor guesses made by our International friends on the site (however, once again, they are encouraged to participate for fun).

Disclaimer: Minors (under the age of 18) are encouraged to participate, however, I will need parental consent before sending the animal to the minor (i.e. I need to speak to a parent on the phone).

Here are all of the details that may help you come up with a guess:

1.This is Clutch #21 for 20134

2.The female is a Spider that is 8 years old

3.Her name is Pamela (as named by Freakie Frog in 2006) and her ID# is B06SF#2.

4.16 different co-dom/dom males were introduced to her enclosure (some were carrying or displaying recessive traits) (some of these were supers or multiple gened animals)

5.Of the 9 males, 6 of them were observed visually copulating with her, and there were 6 total copulations

6.She had her Post Ovulation Shed on May 28th

7.She laid her eggs throughout the day on June 27th

8.The clutch of 11 eggs and 0 slugs all candled good, and weighed 1107.2 grams.

9.The average egg size is 100.7 grams

Lastly, I wanted to mention that although we typically cut our eggs on day 52, we will be waiting until day 56 to cut these eggs, as that is the day that we typically see heads after cutting. If someone pips prior to day 56, we will cut all of the eggs. Once the first snake pips, or we cut the eggs, I will post a pic. Once that pic is posted, any and all guesses made after that post will be null and void. The first snake out of the eggs is the winner. Everyone please have fun making your guesses, and we’d like to thank everyone for participating.

Below is a link to last year’s contest for anyone that wants to check it out. Last year’s winner was international, and the runner-up failed to claim the animal in time, and it was a Hidden Gene Woma male (he was donated to a USARK auction) .

NOTE: Please make sure that you review all of the guesses before making yours, as if any guess is a duplicate of another, the first person to guess will be the winner, and you are not allowed a second guess if you make a mistake.

Here are the pics of the female on eggs, the eggs in the tub and the eggs set up in the incubator box before resting in their home for the next 60 days.

Thanks to everyone for all of the participation this year. Let's keep the participation level high, as it seemed to drop off a bit last year from previous contests. Let all of your friends know, and remind everyone to get in a guess.

p.s. I forgot to apologize in the original post for getting this up so late, normally I post this on the day the girl lays. However, I have been so busy, I didn't even ask the admins for permission until the day after Pamela laid. I promise that I won't be too busy to check the hatching progress.
