Worlds First hatched today!
This snake has been in the works for 3 years and started with the purchase of a 2012 Stinger bee Het. Orange Hypo from RegiusCo. I am so happy I purchased said snake as I had my eye on it for quite some time and after about 6 months decided no one else buying it was a sign I should.

I paired her this past season with a 2009 Orange Dream Het. Orange Hypo that I had proved out the year before.

And 53 days ago she laid 6 big plump eggs weighing in at over 100g per egg!

I had the first pip on day 51.

The first one out was an Orange Dream 66% Het Orange Hypo followed by a Dream Bee 66% Het Hypo and this beauty!

An Orange Dream, Orange Hypo, Enchi! Wow this thing is bright, banded, reduced, so Orange you need shades and best off all a Hypo!
This is an awesome day for a small time hobby breeder and really shows you what hard work, a solid plan and some luck can do for you. You don't need to buy the most expensive snakes to make some sweet never before seen combinations just pick something unique and shoot for it!
I will be posting updated post shed photos in due time, but for now this guy is in the incubator for a while and not being bothered.
Still in the egg are a Normal 66% Het. Orange Hypo, a Spider 66% Het. Orange Hypo and a really nice looking Orange Dream Stinger Bee 66% Het. Orange Hypo!
Hope your season is going as good as mine!
Cheers,

Re: Worlds First hatched today!
Very nice! Congrats on seeing your project come to fruition.
Re: Worlds First hatched today!
Thanks for all the comments! I am very happy with this one.
It is in fact a female so it will be a few years before I can do anything with her but I have some big plans in store. I got lucky and the Orange Dream Stinger Bee 66% het. Orange Hypo is a male. I may look to prove him out unless someone gives me the right offer.
I am breeding my Hypo Dream male to the same 2012 Stinger Bee 100% het. Orange Hypo this coming season so I should hopefully hatch out a few more of these in the coming seasons along with an Orange Dream Stinging Bee (fingers crossed). I figure with it being a female I have at least 3 years before it will lay eggs so I have time to hatch out a male version and shoot for a Super OD Super Enchi Orange Hypo. Now that will be an unreal snake!
Eventually I would like to mix this into Pied and Clown But I currently own neither of these as I am small time breeder who wanted to build up a hypo army before taking on anything else. I think OD Enchi Hypo Clowns and Pieds would be unreal so I plan on adding candied clown and hypo pied females in the next few years to start working towards that goal. By the time they are grown up I should be on the brink of hatching a Super OD Super Enchi Hypo which will pair nicely to the clown and pied.
At the beginning I decided to stick to recessives and now that I am building up an increased stock of visual hypos and will continue to for another few years I feel like its time to work on some double recessive projects. Genetics are what got me into this hobby and it will be what continues to keep me interested. I'd like to move away from producing single gene animals and possible hets whenever I can within the next 2 years as I feel that is just the direction this hobby is going (with the exclusion of new genes).
I will be sure to add post shed photos once the clutch has shed. I have to say I'm looking forward to it.
Cheers,

Re: Worlds First hatched today!
Thanks everyone!
Here's a picture of the girl in natural sunlight at just under 600g. Still bright and beautiful. Her mom just had her prelay shed so hopefully I'll hit on another one or two, or even a OD Stinger Bee Orange Hypo!
