Poss Hets, Twins, and Trusting Friends
So let me tell you all a story about back when Heather was just starting out...
I had wanted Pieds for a while. But, back in the day, Hets were pretty darn expensive... So I waited it out for a bit, until I met this woman, Miss WolfyHound. She had just came onto the scene, bred her Het Pied male to a Normal, and wanted to sell her clutch.
I bought it, thinking that this lady seemed nice and trustworthy, and we began a friendship that lasted ever since.
So I got three sister 50% poss het Pieds.
YAY!
I grew them up, waiting year after year until they were ready.
This season, they were.
So I bred my Pied to them, praying that my luck would prove at least ONE of them out. Only two went this season, so that was already a kick in the pants.
And the first female laid 5 beautiful eggs. I couldn't be happier!
So I waited 60 days.
And lo and behold...
MY FIRST SET OF TWINS pipped first!!
How awesome is that???

So I waited, waited until I couldn't wait anymore... I cut...
And there were FOUR pieds in Five eggs, plus the Twins!
WOWEE!!!
And now, they are out of the egg...
And here is the kicker.

1.3 Pieds, 0.2 Het Twins with Ringers.

Can't get any better than that.

So thank you, Teresa Baker, for being an amazing and trustworthy person when you could have faked it.
You have made my season with this, and I am forever grateful.

Re: Poss Hets, Twins, and Trusting Friends
Congrats!! I'm so happy for you, and double whammy on getting twins to boot!
I've always tried to be honest in dealings, because I'm more interested in my rep than in money or big names. And hey! You produced a pied before I have! Way to go!
Can't wait to hear more, and killer on the sexes too!

Re: Poss Hets, Twins, and Trusting Friends
Very cool stuff Heather.
I now have a question but before I ask we must harken back, back to a day you may well not even remember.
There was a time when Tootsie Pops were big stuff. They advertised all over the place. One of the commercials they had was a kid asking "how many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop?"
I remember the Wise Old Owl answering, "One, two, three," as he licked the sucker and then crunched the candy shell to get to the chewie tootsie pop center, "three," he replied, "it takes three licks to get to the center of a tootsie pop."
Or words close to that, it's been a decade or three since I saw it.
Anyway, how many rats does it take to get a Wonginator Pied?
It sounded way better when I was just talking to myself.
Congrats.

Re: Poss Hets, Twins, and Trusting Friends
First off - WOOT! to Heather on an awesome clutch! You deserve it, after being so patient. :gj: :D
Second - Geez, would everyone stop draining the Odds Gods this year!! At this rate, there won't be any good odds luck left for next year when I hope to be able to start breeding!
That is, of course, if I don't have to sell all my snakes just to pay rent.
