Het Granite Carpet Eggs

I got 8 eggs and 1 slug from my female IJ 100% het Granite bred by my IJ 100% het Granite male...

This is my first year breeding Carpets, so I am real excited...

I can't wait for these to hatch...I'm hoping for at least 1 Granite...

I worked for Sharp for several years and watched his Granites grow from hatchlings to adults...The color they start out at as is a lot different than what they look as adults...

Thanks everybody!

Congrats! That is awsome!!! If you are going to let any go, keep us in mind. We might be in the market for one this year.

Congrats on the eggs. I wonder what the little bugers will look like......

Charlie

Sweetness!!! Congrats! :carrot:

Hi

Granite is my dream morph :p..Good luck with the eggs

Thanks!

Charlie...Check out this link to see hatchling and adult Granites...

Congrats!!! Here's to hoping you get some granites out of the clutch :carouse: :carouse: !!

thanks for that link...I couldn't get past the BlackHeaded pythons. I believe he was the originator of both the granite IJ and the Albino BHP, is this correct? What are the odds of him birthing both morphs that haven't been seen before? What a lucky man......

Jon, what is your incubator set up like? What temp. are you planning to set? Pics of your setup?

One more question, I promise, why did you choose to incubate over the natural mother hen on her eggs, just curious?

Charlie

I just love the IJs, wish I hadn't sold my first pair years ago.

After seeing a picture of the granite morph, I know there will be one in my collection one of these days. Those guys are STUNNING!

Good luck with your eggs!

congrats:carrot: Keeping my fingers crossed for baby granites:D

awesome! keeping my fingers crossed for you...
i'd love to get some granite action going.

Well 6 snakes hatched and I didn't get any Granites...

One egg went bad during incubation and one egg had an undeveloped snake in it...

This is the first time I've ever bred 100% hets together...I don't like how it turned out...lol

Ack - sorry you didn't hit the odds dude. I hope you have better luck next year. How many years do you try before deciding they might not be hets? I've often wondered that what with people buying 66% hets all over the place these days.

Thanks!

They came straight from Nuyten Reptiles, who was the first one to produce them...I am confident they will prove out...Hopefully I can get a few more eggs next year...

That truely is too bad Jon, we need more granites over here!!! That is a bummer, and I feel your pain. Last year we bred two 100% het pieds together and got 5 eggs, and 0 pieds :( Not a fun feeling. But, the year before that we got 3 eggs from them, and 2 ended up being pieds...so hopefully the bad luck this year means good luck next year?!? Fingers will be crossed for you!!!

Congrats to ya, hoping to see a good result! :)

Thanks Guys!

There should be plenty of Granites produced in the states next year...Hopefully a couple by me...lol
