How I made that particular snake and 4 other clutches was a test of sorts for this year. I have 2 females, one Reverse Okeetee and one het Creamsicle and Anery. I used 4 males on each female multiple times. In no way did I exhaust the females, they were very willing... but here is a list of the males 1. Reverse Okeetee unrelated to both females 2. Het Creamsicle and Anery, may actually be a sibling to the female Het Creamsicle and Anery...unsure of that 3. Creamsicle produced by the het pair which is probably het Anery 4. Creamsicle unrelated to the others. Clutch one from the Reverse Okeetee was 21 Amels, some extremely aberrant, and others that looked like normal Reverse Okeetees and also normal Creams....but very very nice. Mostly red and whites but some very orange with no red...really many many looks withing the clutch. Clutch one from the het Cream/Anery. NO Amels, 7 Anerys, 1 Snow and many normals. Clutch two from the Reverse Okeetee, all Amels but this time they were mainly orange instead of red, which is what I was hoping for all along. Clutch 2 from the het Cream/Anery,1 Snow, a few Anerys, a few Creams, and a few normals. Now I broke the golden rule of one male to one female so I would know how I got what I got, but my plan all along was to hold some back and breed them to each other. But the thing I want to stress is people will say that after a female is bred they get a plug of sorts in their cloaca which should prevent other males from fertilizing them? I do not think that was the case with these breedings. I can not prove anything, nor will I do this breeding again to this extreme but all in all it was interesting and I did produce oodles of looks within the 4 clutches. People either love these or hate them. I find it amusing how some people make such a fuss as if hybrid breeders are "ruining" this n that. And these Creamsicles....I tell ya they are often shunned on the Corn forum and on this Hybrid forum most probably feel like" why would someone post those here?". Pretty freakin funny....whatever...I love em! Tom Stevens
