Our First Clutch (pic heavy)

[frankykeno]

Jo, they are beautiful, especially Ms. Kinky! She's a stunning snake even with her kink, and I know that you and Mike will make the very best decision for her!

I also like the last one with the head dot similar to Bindi's!

They're all beautiful and you guys did a great job!

I cannot wait, my friend, to see your babies. What an exciting year for a lot of us here that are all at the same level of breeding experience. Dori's clutch is next Robin - I'm dying to see what comes out of those 5 eggs.

I've been waiting for this thread, and I'm so glad that you finally had a chance to post the pics! They are a beautiful group! The kinked girl is super HOT, even with her slight kink. I hope she is able to thrive, and does not have any problems.

What a great first clutch!

Thanks Christie. Can't wait to see your babies this year girl! I've already been on the phone and doing research, gathering more information about kinks. We'll just see how she goes along but she is an awful sweet girl (and yes, once again Tim, I KNOW YA TOLD ME I'D GET EMOTIONALLY ATTACHED TO THE BOOB EGG...hahahahahahahaha (dang breeders are always right aren't they! LOL)

Don't feel bad, I still haven't updated mine and my numbers have increased quite a bit.

Well get busy J.R. and hey where's the pics!

great pics and you did perfect on the ratios. Congrats.

Thanks Justin. I'm very new at sexing recently hatched baby snakes so I'll be repeated the popping a few more times just to be comfortable in my own mind that we've got it right. They look so pretty all lined up in the new hatchling rack.

Just a bunch of total awesomeness, Joanna!!! What fabulous odds, and all six beautiful, healthy babies!! (I'm confident little Miss Kinky will be fine!!) Of course, I never doubted your insane husbandry skills! It stands to reason that someone who takes such good care of their animals would have such awesome success making babies!

Awwww thank you Judy. From your mouth to God's ear for little Miss Kinky.

Congrats Jo

Strange how the egg that was worrying you the most produced the best looking baby out of the clutch even with a kink!

Great odd too, I know you were hoping for several females YB seems like you got what you were hoping for.

Thanks Deb. The first thing I thought of actually when I saw her looks was how pretty she was so the kink did make me a bit sad at first but that's life. Breeding is going to have a lot of us facing these things and far worse. Having to make tough decisions or face heartbreak. It's not all about "whoohooo lookie what I made!" so this one lovely little snake is going to teach Mike and I about dealing with imperfection.
