My het sharp female delivered 37 slugs and 2 albinos ? from my Marron X Het Sharp pairing. She must have retained sperm from 2009. Totally bummed about it. Good luck to the rest of you. Lets see some marrons !

That's really too bad...I'm imagining Sharp Marrons to be incredible. I only got 4 live babies last year from breeding a John Berry het pewter (bought as het blood) to T- albino Argentine. I only got 5 live babies from breeding the same het pewter male to "sunburn Mayan (het chocolate dilute)." It happens, unfortunately.

That's a bummer , the Marron is turning out to be an elusive gene
to out breed / out cross and completely prove out.

Sorry that breeding didn't work out for you and for the Boa world and Marron project.

Bummer for sure, I hate when that happens!

Hope your other breeding projects come through for ya.

It does suck, but we always have next year. The female is doing great. She slammed down 2 lrg rats yesterday. It is crazy what can happen during breeding attempts. She retains sperm from 2009 after having a successful litter last yr ? Still waiting on a few nice litters.

Now this is a question I've had for a while.

Does having a litter or slug litter clear the deck for the next season,
So you pair your fem with a fresh new male??

If your results are the answer . . . . the answer is No !

That is something kind of scary actually !

Once again Dan sorry it didn't work out good with your other pairings !!

I hope 2 years will clear the slate !

Are they females only?

Dam... That sucks dan.

I really want to see what the marrons produced when totally outcrossed, well i guess we'll have to wait for the next U.S. Marron litter.

I think Kevin Stewart may be next. Good luck. I was dying to see the outcreossed blood myself.

Bummer Dan. I was so looking forward to seeing those. Better luck next year!
