First eggs.

Probably not to exciting too many of you, but this is my first clutch of snake eggs. 10 good eggs from a 2 year old dbl/het x dbl/het ghost breeding. It’s pretty exciting to me.

MarcB here’s where I hope to get that tri color hypo.

Thanks for looking

Looking good Jim, good size clutch of eggs!

I like the look of that Tri-c DH Ghost female, your odds of hatching a Tri-c Hypo are pretty good from her, is the male a tri as well.

Thanks for sharing the pic

Thanks Mark and Tom

The Male was this big 1200g tri color. He’s probably only at about 900 to 1000g right now, but he’s been eating well again and should be ready for round two in no time.

Thanks again guys

With two tri-colored parents, you should be producing some tri hypos and odds with ten eggs are good for a ghost as well.

Keep us updated

10 eggs to me is very exciting. You never know, you could have some killer Hypos in there, and of course the Ghost would rule all. The mother is a nice looking snake as is....... nice healthy looking eggs too. A great way to start off. Tom

Wow! It IS exciting, but I don't see any hypo tricolored eggs there. Maybe next year

A tricolor double het ghost pairing should produce 1 homozygous tricolored Hypo out of 4 eggs..hence both parents being tricolored

Genetics 101, maybe next year...
