Hello folks!
The co-dom hypo is from an adult female that came in as a hypo.
I have two adult females and the first one was bred to a yellowbelly last year.
I got five eggs.
With one week to hatch, I got so distracted with the Daytona show that my incubator wend dry and killed the top three eggs.
When I came back from the show, I opened all the eggs and found one female Hypo, one female normal, two dead hypos and a grey/purple snake that was also dead.
I assume that one was the yellowbelly and hypo cross.
The female went to Ralph Davis and he has the animal today.
This year I hatched 9 eggs from the new snake and 4 were hypos.
The second clutch will be from a "Sunset" pastel to the Hypo mom.
I also bred her to a yellowbelly as a back-up.
The reason I call them hypos is because the two moms and 7 babies so far have been hypos, and the reason I call them Co-dom is because they produce hypos first generation and the cross with a yellowbelly, eventhough it was dead, was different from both the mom and the dad.
As far as those who want to tell me the baby in the egg was not fully formed, I can tell you this. The yolk was all gone, the baby just got dried up in the egg. Also the two dead sibs were fully formed and had their color and no yolk left.
I will have pictures of the adults and the entire clutch as well as pics of the new clutch when they hatch.
As far as selling them, the pair has been sold as well as an extra male that I did not want to sell.
So let me have it if you got something to say!!!!
Goodnight.
