My New Ivory!

Maki Sep 19, 2008 02:32 PM

I was hoping for this, but didn't really expect it. I mated a het ivory from a proven line (BHB) with a CH possible yellowbelly. The male didn't have the best markers, but I got him because he was a pretty glowy yellow. I snapped pics this am before rushing off to work. Don't even know if it is boy or a girl. I'll post better pics after he/she sheds. As excited as I am, you'd think I laid the eggs myself and personally sat on them for 60 days!

Thanks, everyone!

It's official--it's a he. Also in the clutch were 2.1 het ivories and a normal. I've been fortunate with the morph ratios this year, but the sex ratios are crazy. I just had a mojave x normal clutch with 5 mojaves out of 6 eggs, and only one male in the whole clutch! (not that I'm complaining!)
