So, we got our first clutch of the year. It came from a female we weren't even sure would go. Last year she locked up a lot, went off feed, but never laid. This year she exhibited the same behavior, so, I didn't think much of it, but when my wife went to clean her tub, lo and behold, she was wrapped around a clutch. After getting her off the eggs, we found 5 good eggs and 1 slug, pretty good for her first clutch. She is off a real dark snake that Tim Lane used to darken up a lot of his morphs, it is unknown if her darkness is a line-bred trait or if it is an actual mutation. She also has a lot of great granite characteristics that I am looking forward to seeing if they are genetic. She was bred to both a Mystic male and a Jigsaw Blast male. I am looking forward to seeing the results.




Also this week, good signs from our Mystic x Mystic pairing. First up is a picture of one of their locks (they are half-siblings, so look at how similar they are in color). The second picture shows what we saw yesterday. What do you guys think? The "glow before she goes"? I am really hoping for some super Mystics.

She is the top snake and much lighter in person (the flash washed her out a little).
