Clutch #5 - Black Head x Champagne

Well this is my last clutch for the season since I have no more adult females ;) This is actually my second clutch of BH x Champagnes. I had done the pairing with both of my female Champagnes to try to be sure at least one of them went. I didn't think this one was going to go this season, but I'm glad she did. I now have 15 chances at a BH Champagne, which may be a world's first.

This weight of these 7 eggs is quite a bit below the weight of the previous 7 egg clutches I have had previously this season (573g vs 809g & 728g) so I hope they're healthy. It's the female's first ever clutch, so I'm happy she had no slugs!

Congrats on the clutch!

I will be interested to see how these turn out!

I had mentioned to a breeder about possibly putting my black head black pastel to my butter mimosa. He said I might have trouble telling bh champagne from bp champagne. So I'll interested to see what a bh champagne looks like.

Congrats! Good luck!

WoBP has a few examples of Black Pastel Champagnes. They look to be variable as far as what they look like. They don't have a Black Head Champagne on there at all. My first clutch is due on June 16th so it won't be long.

Cangratulations,

will be interesting to se what comes of it

You've got 1/4 odds, so you'll likely produce several. Should be an awesome pairing, anxious to see the results. I also went big on Blackhead pairings this season. Have five BH clutches in the oven and one more possible late season. Like you, potential to make some unique, first ever animals. Potential for 3x, 4x and even 5x morphs. Good luck & keep us posted. cheers,

Congrats!

I checked out your 2016 breeding season page. All of the pairings are going to be awesome as well! I'm planning on concentrating on BH combos for the next season, so I hope to produce some multi-gene BH combos as well. Good luck and keep us updated on your progress.

Agree great plan! Blackhead dark morph's are very cool & in demand. Not many out there. I think the Champagne variation will be an interesting blend. Anxious to see your results. I'm confident you'll hit on several. Good luck ... :)

Extra nice! Those eggs look good to me. :gj:

Any word on that first clutch of blackhead x champagne clutch that was due the 16 th?

Nice pairing! Champagne combos are always wild!

Yes! I got I believe 3 BH Champagnes that have shed out. I was on vacation and haven't had time to get pics but I will be adding them very soon!

Sounds like an interesting pairing. Can't wait to see the little stinkers. Curious to see how much pattern they have.

Here is one photo of one of the BH Champagnes. It's close to the actual color, but the black in more dark in person. I'm going to try to get pics with the good camera and a light tent soon and will upload them when I do.

Thanks and I'm anxious to see the results of your last few clutches too!

thanks, I've got one BH clutch out ... two more in process. Made some amazing animals, looks like I hit some 3-4x BH morph variations. Will create a thread with pics when everyone is out. I love the BH/Champagne colors and pattern ... as you indicated, I'm sure its even better live. Fire a pic of all three when you have time. Nice job!

Very nice.. I like how gold or bronze or copper? It makes it look. Can't wait to see the others as well.

My 2nd Black Head Ringer gene x Champagne clutch that wasn't due until 7/19 has already had a hatchling come out (after 49 days) and it looks nothing like the BH Champagnes from the first clutch...I have 5 more to hatch, but I believe at least one of them is bad. I think there might also be Red Gene at play here and it looks like the Ringer Gene as well.

Looks great ... agree with your assessment on the red gene. I like this combo! Keep us posted on any more that emerge. (thx)

Yes, more photo updates please.

Your results make more anxious to try my black pastel blackhead x butter mimosa breeding. But they both have a bit of growing to do yet. Seems my butter mimosa is trying the1000g fast at 800g, guess she didn't read the manual on being a ball python.

That pairing would have to produce some crazy combos, many would be world's firsts I'm sure. I'll upload some more pics when the clutch has all hatched. Do you have some pics of these two you can post?

Butter mimosa, baby photo. I'll have to try and get current ones soon.http://i68.tinypic.com/2mpbc3r.jpg

Black pastel blackhead, just got him a couple/few months ago.http://i65.tinypic.com/2hfrtaf.jpg

Your Mimosa is way nicer than the Champages I have. Should produce very nice clutches for you!

A few more of the Black Head Ringer Gene x Champagne clutch have hatched and it looks like the first one out wasn't a fluke. The second hatchling looks similar, but with less pattern. Still like it a lot though. Still seeing some Red Gene in the 2nd one too.
