Here is the first pip of 2013 from the pairing of my '07 normal female, and my '08 cinnamon male. First pip appeared just a few hours short of exactly 60 days at 89 degrees. This is my first clutch of snakes in over 20 years, (though I did breed a bunch of chameleons back in the 90's), and the first clutch of morphs for me. I bred normal corns, kings, and a couple of clutches of burms back in the 80's when most balls were wild-caught. Since then the breeding of balls has exploded, so I have some catching up to do, (especially with genetics). Back in "the day", albinos were just beginning to come on the market, and they were on the cutting edge of captive breeding. Nowadays it seems that the sky is the limit as far as morphs are concerned. Well, I may not know my genetics, but it seems I still have the knack for breeding herps.....feels good! I'll post more pics as they emerge.....next year I'm breeding that cinny male to a spider....then the fun will really begin!!
It's hard to see, but the first pip is on the far side of the egg at the top of the photo. I'll add more photos as they come out.
