Someone forgot to put patterns on these!

The best vanishing pattern hypo Hondurans I've ever produced. Clutch of 12 yielded three super vanishing pattern hondos and the rest are very nice vanishing patterns. Gorgeous little gems. Sired by hypo from Randy Wittington and dam from Mike Falcon.

Thanks everyone. After they shed, I probed 'em all and would you believe they are all female?! There is one that I'm a little borderline positive on, but on the rest there was no budging that probe more than a few scales in. I'm going to re-check the whole dozen after they've had their first two meals but to be honest, I've never been wrong on a probe yet (that I know of). In contrast, my first clutch came out six males and one female. I know there is some debate on the affect of temperature on some colubrids but these were all incubated at 79 to 81 degrees (depending on location in the incubator) and hatched out in 71 days - normal time for Hondurans. Last year I was male-heavy but the year before I was pretty heavy on females with one clutch of 8 turning out to be one male and seven females.

I ain't complaining!

Pics below are the parents of the clutch. Male is much bigger now but essentially looks the same.
