80 Days...and finally my first Hondos!!!

RG Aug 30, 2011 10:30 PM

It was a long wait...and I still have to wait a couple more days, but I like what I see so far!

78th Day...first slit:

Then little tricolor popped out last night:

This is the second one out, a very nice tangerine:

I'm looking forward to seeing the rest of the clutch!

I ended up proving out my male "Mega" Hypo to be Het Anery (as well as Amel), due to at least one Ghost in this clutch.

It's too early to tell for sure if any of these Hypos are, what I would call Mega Hypos, but either way...they look great!

I'll post more pics when they all emerge.

Good to see some success with the "Mega" line. I have to agree with your thought that they are trickier than other lines.Congrats!!!

That's a long wait, but worth it. They do look great. Especially the tri-color. I'm partial. Can't wait to see the rest.

Killer neonates, man! The first photo of that tangerine really catches my eye. I notice they've got the red eye thing going on - very cool... and a good sign, I think!

Sorry I missed your call - I was helping a local guy sex out a batch of carpet pythons. Yes, I bled.

Killer Rusty,Can't wait to see the rest of that clutch.I would say that tangerine hypo looks mega to me but the tri-color is hard to say.Maybe after a shed it will show more.Nice job.
