I Love Being Wrong!

guyergenetics Jun 25, 2009 08:21 AM

Sometimes being wrong is a good thing.

I thought that I was done with the first go around of the laying season. Yesterday my female Hypo layed 23 eggs. I really didn't think that she was gravid. She didn't show at all and the only meal that she skipped was the feeding one day before she layed the eggs!

This is the first female that ever produced for me back in 2005 when all I had was one pair that was big enough to breed and I just wanted to see if I could do it. She's produced every year since. She is the mother of what has become my signiature line. This is where my Ghost corns come from.

She is probably the ugliest snake in my collection and does not really even look like a Hypo even though breeding has confirmed that she is, and also het Anery. Although she is a nasty looking Hypo, she produces the best looking babies I've seen yet. She gets bred to the same Snow het Hypo every year just 'cause the younguns' are so darn pretty.

You have got to be kidding! That is a nice looking snake, maybe not drop dead gorgous but not bad either.

Congrats on the 2nd clutch.

Post some pics of her offspring so we can compair with Mom. I think she is nice, the young must be knock-outs.

There's a couple of them from '08. She also produces Normals and Anerys in the same clutch.

I think she looks hypo.
Thats the way to do it. Find a pairing that you really like and keep with it.
Congrats on the clutch
