Well, snakes are hatching
There were the seven nice stripe creams to start with.
As I posted earier, the Ultra turned out to be an ultramel and the four eggs that did hatch turned out to be two ultramels and two amels.
I think I mentioned earlier that I had three snows hatch from a snow to anery pairing which told me my anery was het amel (didn’t know that)
Then babies started hatching from my male rootbeer het hypo to cinnamon (hypo corn/emoryi) pairing.
More surprises here. It appears that both the male rootbeer and female cinnamon were both het amel. I have had two beautiful creams hatch out and one of these I believe to be a hypo amel(cream). Something different about it’s look that reminds me of one of Stephen Roylance’s hypo creams from the same line as my cinnamons. Another oddity is out of five hatchlings so far, three have been cinnamons and two have been creams, no rootbeers. There are two more pipping at this time and one of those looks cinnamon as well with the other one actually looking like a rootbeer. Murphy is leaning in my favor this weekend.
I also have most of my ghost to ghost het amel out of the egg and have now learned that the female is also het amel. At this time I have three hypo snows and five ghosts with two eggs to go. Pretty cool.
I still have 6 clutches left to go.
I will update and get pics soon.

Hey Jimmy,
glad to hear your season is perking up. Post pics of that hypo snow. I have a couple that I am wondering if they are hypo snows cause they do not look like their siblings. Although, i did not get any ghosts out of the mix, unless they lean toward the darker scale and I think they are anerys.

Again, glad to hear of the improvement in luck. Now its my turn for good luck! lol
