I think I missed the largest part of it, but that huge lump was not there yesterday...
She's been swelling up and down for a while now, but not nearly so obvious as this..
And the male has certainly been trying...
The female is a 50% Suriname het for albino, and mother of this year's Roswells...
Male is an unrelated 25% Suriname het albino from Boamorph, with great color and pattern...so should be some very nice babies on the way...
I'm really interested as well to see how many of the babies will be laddertail...my guess(if I'm right about the genetics of the Roswells) is that roughly half the litter will be laddertail, and half normal classictails...
But of course anything can happen...now only four months to wait, LOL
And the second girl:
Of course it never looks as good in the photos, but she is huge! That localized swelling was not there the night before...
The swelling starts where the male's head is resting, and stops about where the bend near the end of his tail is, in this photo...
(please excuse the dirty cage...this male has been breeding her non stop for a while and I didn't want to disturb them...they are really good at tearing up the sheets, LOL)
This pairing is my normal, Gracie, and my male hypo Horatio. I am so excited to see if the hypos in this litter will resemble him...he is a very atypical hypo, and I love his looks...
