Season '19 at Cyb-Psy Imperium

[Cybred]

3rd clutch is out of the eggs. Purple passion to normal. At first view it was really hard to spot the difference between phantom and mojave.

I'm testing my rack system, how is the best to handle the hatchlings within. I assume Is this a scale rot? Just right now I'm making modifications, more holes in the tubs for airflow and drying out the substrate. Till that time all will receive a paper towel.

As a beginner last year was instructive, full of challenges and failures, from which I have learned a lot.

Sad the bumble bee sisters did not survive. Both of them passed away after 3 months with one day difference, without any sign of sickness.
I changed the thermostat to a different one in the incubator. This seems to be more precise. Modified the level of the shelves. One fan got loose, heat glued it back again. Meanwhile also building a new 48 qty hatchling rack.

Breeding plan for year '19:
Male x Female
1. Butter het. Ghost x Butter
2. Butter het Ghost x Fire
3. Phantom Mojave x Butter
4. Phantom Mojave x Normal
5. Cinnamon x Enchi Lesser Pastel
6. Spider het. Pied x Pastel Pied
7. Banana x Pastel Champagne Pied

Comparing to last year I already have better results. 3 clutches laid so far (No. 1,4,6); 19 eggs and just only 1 slug. One got a tiny hole, I used a bandaid on it, seems to be fine. Being more cautius to exact incubation medium (perlit + vermikulit mixture) weight/water ratio; no molded eggs. This year I also try to hit a BEL and prove out the spider being a het pied.
The first egg cutting for the No. 1 - Butter x butter, should be on 26th June, but i will do it before/after, because exactly that day I already got ticket for Slipknot event. No.4 is planned to cut 5th and no.6 on 16th July. Rest of them still waiting to lay the eggs. The other butter is positioning and just shed yesterday, champagne is building...Wieghted my granite it will be ready next year. On side got also new animals: My friend gave away her leopard geckos and for surprise got also two eggs with them!

Womt a bandaid hold water against the egg?

let's get the ball rollin'

The smallest baby of the season - a Nuclear (Butter-Fire). I really hope the survival instinct is strong within. It crawled out of the egg by itself leaving a big yoak sack there in the egg.

Just wonder why it is so hard for breeders to identify gender and morphs correctly...
I need to apologize for one if you and correct myself of a mistake I was not aware. Sorry! My Enchi Lesser Pastel is actually an Enchi Lesser Fire...

Finally I got a Banana Pied that will be paired with my Pastel Pied. I just love pieds!

congratulations on all the new babies my friend. i'm sorry about the slugs from your Champagne. they don't look the worse and i hope u are attempting to hatch them. either way, this is a much better season for u unlike last year. you hit some goals and got some new animals. congrats.

Hi and thanks. I did throw them out, cause definitely were infertile. For this banana pied male I gave 12 babies which I think is worth far more, but still I've got another 21 hatchlings. The last clutch gives me hard times with identification - WOB can't hint. I promised pictures also, so it is time to get them uploaded.
Finally also I just learned how to probe.
Interesting how a gene (mojave exactly) can vary in color. I just bought a mojave het. ghost which is way more black than my newborns.
