Hatching Panther Canyon TPR, 96 days incubation. Six huge healthy hatchlings, 96-101 days after eggs layed. Patience is mandatory with subocs.

A big congratulations there man!

Those are incredible!!

Very nice! I hear you on the patience bit. I have three clutches and they are always hard to wait for. What temps did you incubate at? How do the parents to these look?

I incubate eggs around 74-80. It takes longer than at constant 80 but I get a nice ratio of males and females and zero incubation deformities.

The sire is a brick-red Panther Canyon, the dam is a standard pale yellowish tan. As all who raise subocs know, it takes a while for them to show their colors. Right now they're all grayish tan. The female double-clutched without mating a second time. Candling the eggs shows them to be fertile, so four more might be out around Christmas.

I also have a pair of locality matched Heuco Canyon subocs, which are some of the cleanest subocs I've ever seen, and a lovely but indescribable yellow/greenish/taupe/fawn...something. Suboc color. I plan to try breeding them next year. They'll probably be hatched around Halloween.

Congrats on the hatchlings. I have 2.2 Panther Canyon subocs that I am raising up. I obtained mine as hatchlings from Michael Price.
Can you post some photos of the adults that produced the babies? Also, I may be interested in unrelated Panther canyon subocs as well as the Hueco's if you produce them next year.
Have any pics of the Huescos?
Please send me an E-mail at: blb1029@cs.com
Thanks for your time.

Those Hueco's sound interesting. I've seen some from the Christmas Mtns. that were army green tinted.
