I bred the 2 females last year without any brumation, and I am going to try that again this year. I am only planning on breeding 5 females if everything goes as planned. I know that fertility increases with brumation, but I really don't even have anywhere to cool them, since I live in a duplex house, and they already have the spare room, as their room. Hopefully things will work out as well as last year. I had a total of 21 eggs and of that, 19 hatched. If we purchase a home in the near future, I plan on having enough room to keep my ever growing collection, and also have a room to cool them. Good Luck with yours!!!! BTW what kind of pairings do you have planned for this year?

One of the main reasons I am brumating is to give myself a few months off from feeding 12 snakes...LOL

Nothing very spectacular but let's see...

male ghost het amel with female Snow: results should be approximately 50% snow het hypo and 50% anery het amel het hypo

Male cinnamon with female cinnamon (cinnamon= hypo guttata/emoryi)
This will produce Cinnamons.
There is a possibility they are both het amel (cream)
If both are het amel (cream) then results....
50% hypo (cinnamon) het amel (cream)
25% sunglow creamsicles
25% hypo (cinnamon)

male stripe creamsicle to female creamsicle: results..100% creamsicles het stripe

Male Creamsicle to female creamsicle: results....100% creamsicles

male ghost het amel to female amel: results...50% amel het ghost, 50% normal het snow het hypo

undecided on this last pair
male okeetee to female normal....They should produce some very nice normals.

I will try to post some pictures of the cinnamons. I have had trouble getting quality photos of them.
They are beautiful.
I also have a hatchling cinnamon to give you an idea what they will look like.
Believe me, when and if my clutches hatch next season, everyone on the forum will be inundated with photos...lol

Here is a picture of the mom.
Like I said, I will have to get new pictures. Just doesn't do her justice.

and here is a picture of a hatchling

The black in the hatchling photo shows up darker then in real life.
The saddles are a little lighter orange

When you posted pics of them awhile back, I really liked them. That is what got me interested in them. I thought that I would wait and see if you were breeding before I checked more into getting any. I also fell in love with your cream stripes when you posted those. Like I said just keep me in mind. I will be watching the forums for those pics...

Hi, Jimmy.

I'll be putting my emoryi down around the end of November. I also have hypo corns and a hypo/het hybrid. I'd really be interested in seeing your cinnamons to see what the hybrids will look like.

I also am interested in making some creamsicles. I plan to get an amel. corn next summer and will cross it with some of my emoryi. Of course, I could start with a creamsicle I suppose. You probably have posted those pics before, but I don't remember seeing one of those. Any chance...LOL.
