My first Ultramels!

[J.Vandegrift]

Can't complain about these odds! This started out as a 5 egg clutch from my het ultramel pair. I felt pretty good about my chances of hitting at least one Ultra. Then, about half way through incubation, two eggs went bad. At that point I was thinking that I would probably end up getting nailed and end up with no visuals. I candled them at about day 40 and two of them looked much lighter than the 3rd. That gave me hope but I figured it would be too good to be true. When I cut them last week I was definitely excited to see that I actually did hit on two. These are my first Ultramels and I think they may already be my favorite of any snakes that I have hatched so far. Ended up with 1.1 Ultramels.

Beautiful, simply stunning. I'd tell you great job, but I know it was out of your hands. Congratulations on hitting the odds!

Wow, when they coined the phrase "two out of three ain't bad" they weren't kidding! Big congrats!

Congrats great odds 1.1 pair wow. Beautiful babies love me some ultramels.

I was actually hoping for 2.0. Would have made it way easier to let one go, but I definitely can't complain about a female. I am just glad I got my male so I won't have to be making any more possible hets. I have 7 possible het females from last season that I can't wait to prove out.

Very nice, congrats John!

Huge congrats

The hard part is deciding if you're going to let the female go, right? Always a tough decision!
