Exciting times

Yeah, I know any dummy can put two snakes together and if everything goes right they will lock up. It's still exciting though thinking about the possibilities. I paired Tex earlier with a nice 1.0 Pied but never saw any locks. I put Grif with her earlier today as a backup when the rain started and just like that....0.1 Super Black Pastel and 1.0 Mojave Yellow Belly. Not Earth shattering, but a nice mix. Can wait to see if she takes. She's never been bred before.

That's very exciting, you should get some really nice combos from that. :gj:

Excellent! You know, that with it being this time of the year, maybe there's some "magic" in the air, maybe of the black variety. I love the dark bold pattern of a Black Magic!

Congratulations :cool:

Thanks guys, and yes some black magic would be nice! As these will be my first clutches in 20 years or so, I'll take any that I get and hope for healthy. He's locked with a Killerbee as well.

Dave

nice pairing : repeat the pairing every 4 weeks. this pairing is much better than the killerbee pairing : i hatch 2 black widows and they aged badly.

Very nice. I hope she layes eggs for you. Keep us up dated on her progress.

nice! sounds like Grif is a real stud.

there's also the possibility that that Tex and the Pied locked and u just didn't catch them in the act? let's hope for a little extra surprise. :)

There is that possibility. I'm hopeful of course. If there are any Black Pastels I'll be looking at them really hard for markers. Anything else would be sired by Grif of course.

Very nice pairing Dave. Hope you get some nice healthy babies out of them.

I put Grif back in with Tex a couple of days ago. Kind of felt bad for the guy. She walled herself up in her cool hide, which is where she's been for 5 days, and wanted nothing to do with him. He just hung out at the opening like a guy that got ditched at the prom. I separated them this morning and did the routine cleaning. Tex seems to have a bulge a bit past midway down her body so I'm hoping that she's ovulating. It's been so long that it's hard for me to tell for sure. I was never good at spotting that stage as it is. She's not eaten in almost a week and that's kind of what it looks like. Here's to hoping for lumps in the future.

Dave

exciting esp. a gravid Super Black Pastel!

:w00t:


poor Grif. he shoulda cuddled her after. ;)

So now the speculation begins. I didn't put Grif with Tex till 11/30, but she's put on 400g in the last month. Maybe the pied did his job after all and I never saw it? Anyone want to hazard a guess?

Dave

i would dream that she's already het pied and that it was retained sperm from a Mojave Pied and u got a clutch of Magic Panda Pieds in the making. :)

She was a virgin. No chance of that.
