Pastel pied and het pastel pied

I have been breeding this 2014 0.1 pastel to my 2013 1.0 pastel pied. She is in shed now but I am not sure if it's a pre lay shed or not. Can't say I really recall seeing an ovy either. Fingers crossed though that this heavy girl gives me some healthy eggs real soon.http://ball-pythons.net/gallery/file...ge_903922.jpeg

she looks like she wants to do the egg thing!

Thanks pl, I am setting up the bator tonight. She is single gene pastel and not het pied. Weighs in at 1968 gms though. She's been refusing food for 2 months now.

Hoping for the best! :)

This was one of the many locks over a four month period. Hoping to get a couple of super pastels, het pastel pieds, pastels. Mostly hoping for healthy hatchlings. Lol.http://ball-pythons.net/gallery/file...ge_799722.jpeg

Congratulations clark best of luck to you. I'm saving my pastel het for any future pieds i might produce.

I got my fingers crossed for you Albert

AR, tyvm! I appreciate that. She's been favoring the warm side of the tub lately and posturing on her sides for some time now. Almost looking upside down at times. Lol.

That all sounds like a good sign! My female black pastel pied that I was suspecting of being gravid started favoring the cool side, started eating like a ravenous fiend, and just all around no longer appears gravid. I'm hoping that she is simply still building and not that she's reabsorbed. I've been putting the male in with her, but I haven't witnessed any locks in nearly two months (not to say they haven't, I tend to put him in in the morning and not disturb them til the next morning). I still have the incubator warmed up just in case she's faking me out. ;)

Good luck!!

Thanks again pl! Wow! I've been waiting for your girl too. Well you know what they say, " they'll go when their ready". Keeping my fingers crossed for you and for us. :gj:

Nice project. :gj:

Thanks Pit! This girl was my Petco purchase back in 2014 and her first go. I wish she was het pied but I'll take it. The male came from Adam Chandler's collection. ;)

She laid in June last year and she didn't seem gravid then either...so I very much haven't given up hope on a clutch this year. And as you know there is no rushing momma snake! Heehee.

EDIT: next year I plan to be more prepared to make more pieds with my odd looking boy, I'll be looking to get another breeder pied female. I've just been slowly looking for the right one.

Gotcha! That sounds like a plan. I hope they both give us something special. Lol.

Best of luck! She certainly looks like she wants to give eggs!

Thanks Aer, that's pretty much the information i'm getting. The incubator is ready but I guess I have time if this is truly her prelay shed. Haha.
