Boy What a SURPRISE!!!!!

latin1956 Aug 13, 2007 06:17 PM

I just got of the phone talking to Shannon Brown, because I just wanted to know for sure.

I have a clutch of 8 eggs from a female Anery to a Male DH snow. This female was sold to me as a possible het Albino. I have tried for 3 years to prove her out and no Albino. But out of this clutch of 8 I got 2 Snow's, 1 Anery and 5 Het Anery. I just was not expecting any snows, I was expecting some Anery's. Since I am going to Daytona I have pipped the eggs today after 70 days, just in case any would have trouble getting out while I was away.

I was besides myself with excitement!! Here are some pictures!!

Enjoy
