    Babies ( pictures to come)
    Had a clutch hatch last night. Pairing was black pastel spotnose pinstripe het orange ghost x black pastel. 5 good eggs. No slugs

    It would seem I got
    0.0.1. Black pastel
    0.0.1 pinstripe spotnose
    0.0.1 black pastel spotnose pinstripe
    0.0.2 super black pastel (possible pinstripe spotnose)
    Really happy with the odds on this clutch

    Pics will be posted when they crawl out

    Yeah I wanted to snap a few. But in egg isn't going to work for these guys. They are all in bad positions. But if they move I will definitely post in egg.

    Here is a in egg of one of the super blacks. For those of you who are patiently waiting for them to come out he piped himself But I had to enlarge his hole to get a picture https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...9e869f08e0.jpg

    Sadly both of the super black pastel were kinked. Each one had a single kink at the base of the skull that would prevent them from eating. Both were humanly euthanized. The rest of the clutch is I believe
    1.0 black pastel spotnose.
    0.1 Black pastel spotnose pinstripe
    0.1 Spotnose pinstripehttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...fe9a1ce1c1.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...2f756b13a6.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...55aa085f6f.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...2b79ea8b14.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...d5c0e5e45f.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...9fad41e348.jpg

    Sorry to hear about the supers, I hatched an 8 ball this year that was also kinked so your not alone.
    Congrats on the rest of the clutch, they look beautiful!

    Re: Babies ( pictures to come)
    I knew the risks breeding super black pastels. I incubated at a lower temperature than normal. I did everything that I could to ensure that they were healthy. The line that I use generally doesn't have kinking issues I just got unlucky. The thing in breeding that people need to remember is things happen, we have to take responsibility for the babies. So like I said before they were humanly euthanized and I don't know what next season will bring. I don't own that female anymore, she laid for me twice and I let her move on. I will be holding back the black pastel spotnose pinstripe the other two I haven't decided on yet.

    It has and it hasn't. Like I said I made the choice I knew the risks and I'll be brutally honest I would do the pairing again I don't know anything different that I could have done it's never easy losing babies especially to a kink or something that is out of your control I did get a few exceptional babies out of there and snake that I was trying to hit so I can't be too disappointed with the clutch and I got fantastic odds even if I did lose 2

    oh no! i'm so, so sorry to hear about the SPB. it's a cold reality when it happens. the others look good tho and i'm glad u got another 1 w/ all three genes.

    yep, i've been preparing myself for this for awhile. i know what my goals are and hope i can hit them as soon as possible w/o the heartbreak but i know what i will have to do if things don't work out.

    And that's the most important thing is I don't own up to it and dealing with it you know that's a choice we make as breeders

    I am so sorry to hear that StillBP,:tears: man that is so jacked... least you have some success out of them, and hopefully you can try it again soon as you said you got the one you wanted, just can’t control what higher powers want you to have.. I been praying on the lotto for years now & not even a scratch off has come through, lol...but least you saw ya supers & can possibly plan another project for them if you want.. so go for it... id love to see the hatched version of what your trying to create... either way, babies are beautiful and i wish u good luck with the rest of the clutch :gj:
