OK...the hatchlings are going to be popping out all over the place in a few months. So, what morphs are you looking to pick up this year, what long-term plans do you have for your hatchlings, or what crazy new stuff are you looking for to come crawling out of the vermiculite?

There...that ought to give just about everyone something to consider and post an answer!

Hi Jimmy, is that a striped creamsickle? Very nice contrasty animal indeed.

>>Hi Jimmy, is that a striped creamsickle? Very nice contrasty animal indeed.

yep, stripe cream
unfortunately she died during the winter.
I have absolutely no idea what happened. She was fine one week and dead the next.
Best looking stripe cream I ever produced or saw.
She would have been ready to breed this spring, too.

I'm hoping for a bright all blue cornsnake to hatch out...

ok ok, I'm allowed to DREAM aren't I? hee hee hee!

Hoping to hatch out some beautiful Okeetees, Lavas, Charleston locality normals, a bunch of weird crosses...so lots of normals het for multiple secret project sorta stuff...

So I'm just hoping they are all fertile, hatch out well, and eat well for me.

Hoping to produce amels double het. for caramel and stripe; motley/striped amels het for caramel; normals double het. for caramel and striped; also some run of the mill stuff like snows; anerys het. amel; amels het. anery; and, normals double het. amel and anery. More excited about the hold backs I may get from pairing my butter striped male with two female amels and a female normal het. snow.

I'm going to start pairing snakes up together next week.

A bit of what I'm looking to hatch out:

Lavender motleys,
Lavenders,
Bloodreds,
Blizzards,
Striped motleys het butter--The start of a really cool project,
Normal male to quad het female just to see what he might be hiding in his genotype,
Ghosts,
Hypos,
Anerys,
Amels,
Charcoals,
Outcrossed Bloodreds,
Motleys,

Non-corn projects:

Desert Kings,
Corn X Yellow Rat paired with a creamscicle

I'm probably forgetting something, lots going on this season.

I just decided to go ahead and throw my corns together the other night but they went at it so I'll be producing corns for the first time this year. My male is a Fire poss het lavender, anery, and charcoal. My first female is a Whiteout poss het anery, and hypo. My second female is an Abott Okeetee. So if everything proves out I will get,
Fires
Whiteouts
Avalanches
Normals het bloodred, amel, poss het anery, charcoal, lavender

And if unexpected het's prove out then also
Opal Bloodreds
Coral Snow Bloodreds

As far as non-corns,
Brazilian Rainbow Boas(ready to drop any day)

This year I only have 2 females ready to go, my sunglow mot and my ghost. The sunglow is paired with an amel, and the ghost with another ghost, so I should have amels and ghosts. The sunglow is already going into her prelay shed. I'm so excited! The only snakes I'm letting myself shop for this year, since cash is tight, are okees and rev okees with insanely thick borders. Hope I can find one or two.

What would I like to crawl out of the vermiculite? A two headed corn, or a few twins, at the least!

What do I expect to crawl out? Nothing of the sort! lol.
I have bred about 25 pairs so far with almost that many to go. I am expecting a couple pewters and charcoals, all the normal phases, some stripes (including ghost, amel, anery, hypo - Possibly even butter stripe!), butters, carmels, lavenders, a few others along with tons of hets.

New projects this year include Albino Sonoran Gopher, blotched king snake, baird's rat snake.
