Time to go pickup the KEG and fire up the BBQ! Happy DAYS ARE HERE! Justice DAY!

Damon Aug 24, 2004 12:04 PM

Man I am so happy, so SO SO HAPPY, I bombed out on 2-clutches this year with NO ALBINOS. MY first 2 clutches in my entire life.

Now today from 4 little eggs, it looks as if I have 2 pastels and 2 normals. There were 5 eggs total but one of them died half way into incubation.

So this time the odds were dead on, 50/50 maybe even better because I did lose one egg.

So far only 1 normal left the egg, a really nice looking BRIGHT normal, but it's a male DANG! Would have kept it if it were a female.

I do not know the sexes of the 2 pastels and the last normal, since they are still in the eggs.

The photo shows the brighter Pastel. The other one does not look as nice as this one, so that is why I took these first photos of this one.

Will post photos of all of them, including baby group photos when there all out of the eggs.

Justice BABY!! Justice, I feel a lot better today.

I should get my butt to work in the snake room tonight, I havent fed anyone in 2 weeks! It's going to be hard, All I want to do is look at my new little Pasties and sip on a few beers.

Ahh maybe I will start work in the snake room tommorow night. What's one more day.

I'm gonna have to do something soon with those 66% HETS from the first clutch, still only 1 is eating, the rest are starting to look a little shoe-stringy.

Do you need to hatch out eggs in order to pick up a keg & fire up the BBQ ? Dude get a grip... getting up in the morning is enough reason to do THAT !!! LOL
