Shannon,

I got clutches from all three of my wc females. One laid twelve good eggs that went full term and died in the egg. I have no idea why. They were really nice snakes too (the dead in the eggs always are). My Blairs female laid seven good looking eggs and six hatched, all Blairs, all looked about like this:

My "old-lady" (wc 1993) had not laid eggs in several years. I started feeding her rat fuzzies this year, supplimented with a lizard or two, and she started looking great. I thought why not. She laid five great looking eggs, of which, only two were fertile. One of the babies was a deformed Blairs (the first Blair morph she has ever produced of course) and this nice looking little guy:

Over all I had a decent year with my alterna production, but it could have been better.
