My first clutch of Brooksi have hatched....

Dwight Good Aug 30, 2003 06:22 PM

A friend of mine and I bought an adult pair of double het for snow Brook's last year in Chicago. I bred them this spring and got six eggs, the last one hatched this morning. Here is what I ended up with:

1.0 Albino, poss het axanthic
0.1 Axanthic, poss het albino
1.3 Normals, possible het axanthic and/or albino

How is that for being blessed by the brooksi gods? I can't believe I got this lucky with the morph and sex ratio. When I breed other stuff I get skewed ratios like 8.2 or 10.3 or something like that. I'm very happy with the results, and I think I'm officially hooked on brooksi. After my friend and I split the clutch, I'm keeping the rest. These really are neat snakes.

I'll post pics after they shed.

Don't hold your breath because that will never happen. Haha.

As soon as these monsters shed I'll post some pics.
