things continue to go well for my snow honduran project: earlier, a big double het female laid 11 good eggs, and then my snow female laid 11 good eggs, my first good snow x snow breeding. This morning i found another of my big double het females laid 15 eggs, all of them apparently good! And I still have several double het females (smaller ones, but nice) yet to lay.



this morning's clutch was especially gratifying because i'd just gotten a couple of disappointing clutches--15 slugs from a big ghost female and a couple clutches from other females with less than optimal fertility. So it was good to see the snow project females sustaining their excellent performance.



(i'd bred the ghost female x my hypo het/albino possible het/anery male, partly to test to see if the male IS het/anery. I won't learn it from that pairing! Fortunately I also bred him x an anery and she laid 9 good eggs, so I should know, once they hatch, whether the male's homozygous hypo double het for albino AND anery or not.



I've been thru bad seasons and good seasons. This kind is better.



peace
