Well after waiting a long 57 days my clutch that I was most excited about finally hatched. I bred my Spider male 100% Het ghost to a pastel female but when I saw pics of the Fire pastel I was floored. So I stopped breeding my spider and ran my fireball through her for the last six breedings before she ovulated. Well I was really hopeing to produce a fire pastel but with the odds I got I wont complain lol. Out of 10 eggs I ended up with 5 bumble bees 2 pastels 2 spiders and a normal. And everything is 50% pos het ghost. Good luck everyone. Paul at Steel City Exotics

Very nice. Even though you had other ideas, they came out excellent. Congrats to you!

I would be happy with that clutch.

Did you get your fireball from the guy that produced the fireball pastel (Brandon Boeke)? I got mine from him, and he was kind enough to let me tour his facility. That is the most spectacular snake I have ever seen. I was holding it, then picked up a beautiful pied, but put it back down and went back to the fireball pastels. On Sunday, we took that snake to a small show in Arlington, and showed it in public for the first time. That is where the pics came from that Conner Davy posted of it. You should have seen Bob Clark's face when he saw that snake. The other people at the show were standing two tables away and leaning over to take a picture around the other people that were flocking towards that snake. I can't wait to see what the fire does to some of the other morphs out there. We should see a fire albino from Conner Davy in 09, as he produced hets this year. I hope everyone sees the potential for this morph as we have, and the price stays where it should, because these are truly remarkable animals. I have put most of my eggs in the fireball basket, and I am very passionate about the future of this morph---plus the white snake is a great bonus!!!

Sorry so long, just very passionate about fires.

This thing makes my mouth water every time I see it.
