HUGE suprise from Gravid WC female!!!!!!

RaulGomez Apr 12, 2006 10:15 AM

At the last White Plains I picked up two gravid females..... I had bought one before in the past and got very poor results.... out of 7 eggs only one lone egg made it. The price was right at $100 a piece so I went ahead and got them.

The first female laid 7 eggs and 4 went bad within the first couple of days. The second laid a couple of days later. She gave me a strong clutch of nine....

I didnt pay much mind to the two clutches and the first clutch of 3 eggs went all the way to day 64 before I remembered..... I went into my incubator and pulled out the shoe box. Set it on the counter and opened the lid..... I stood there staring into the box for a good half hour trying to understand what I was looking at. There were two normals and an orange ghost in the bin...... I couldnt believe it..... this was by far the luckiest thing that has ever happened to me... .what are the odds? 3 eggs from a w/c female and I get a recessive morph...

The best part is they are all female.... so I went from having an adult w/c female to having an adult het ghost female... two poss het ghost females and a ghost female.... not bad for a hundred bucks huh lol...

I am sooooooo happy

Just wanted to share

Raul

Well, aside from an argument one can make on Hybrids like blood balls, all the morphs we have are produced by nature. People just found them in the wild and let the natural process take place in captivity. We don't "produce" anything...we just REPRODUCE.
