J.W. Exotics Season update

[bones93]

Nice reduced pattern on the bee and the head blushing on all those is amazing. They look like super pastel heads. Nice little project you have there

Wow they are reduced and the head blushing .Congrats on everything so far

Thanks!

Pretty cool Jake, if you have a male in that clutch you'll have to breed him back to momma and see if you produce a super.

Thanks, I know that the bee and at least one of the pastels are males from a quick popping, so the bee will probably be getting bred back to her next year. The babies are 71g-73g out of the egg, and mom started eating great as soon as I took the eggs from her. She was about 3,100g before she popped, and is packing weight back on, so I'm hoping they will be ready next season.

the babies looking great... im til loving ur incubator... 1 clutch year that hatched out and 4 lil beauties... i was able to inquire a mini fridge and wanted to know if you have DIY or blog on how to make one...

Thanks. Glad to hear that you are liking your incubator. I don't have a DIY that I know of, but if you do a search hear I think I explained what I did when I made my wine cooler incubator back in 2006, and I know you will find others that members have written about it over the years. If you want to send me an email I can do a quick write up and answer any specifics you have.

Great looking clutch - love the "blotchy" patterns!

For the record, I bought my spider male (Vinnie) from JW last year, and he's a wonderful snake... big/healthy, handsome, and quite friendly to boot!

Thanks, his siblings are the brightest spiders I have. That woma-ish female that produced that clutch really cleaned them up nicely.

Thanks, when there were only heads pipping out of the eggs, I didn't know what I had. I don't know if I have ever seen pastels with heads like that if there wasn't a second gene involved, and if this bee had hatched from one of my pastel girls I would have thought he was a killer bee with that head.
