Banana Bull project

acheela Jun 21, 2013 08:31 PM

Well, my female yellow bull is big as a house, and acting miserable. She shed about a week ago, and I'm expecting to wake up to eggs and time now. She has started getting that gaunt backbone look like my Kingsville red did right before she laid. Keep your fingers crossed the genetic Gods are with me, and these guys produce bananas, or at least something really cool!! I am impatiently waiting....tap, tap, tap...

Be sure and keep us posted,I'd love to see pictures no matter what the results! Was the male also a yellow het patternless?

acheela Jun 22, 2013 09:16 AM

Yes, the male was yellow het patternless, whiteside, axanthic, possible het hypo. She's laying as we speak... I'll post pics when she's done. I'M PUMPED!! Have 7 so far, and it looks like 2 more...

Great job !!

hoping you hatch out some little beauties in a couple of months.

Rainshadow Jun 22, 2013 06:03 PM

Congratulations! (Any pics of the parents? I was very interested in seeing how those turned out as they grew.) ; )

acheela Jun 23, 2013 12:34 AM

I'll get some pics of the parents tomorrow... Just got in from hauling the grandbaby to a barrel race.

Rainshadow Jun 23, 2013 10:23 AM

I'll look forward to the pictures...is your grand baby pretty fast?

acheela Jun 23, 2013 04:38 PM

She's only 4, but here's a video of her from two weeks ago. I'll get pics of the snakes up asap...

You got 9 eggs. According to odds 1 out 4 should patternless and all will be yellow. You should get 2 bananas along with some other cool stuff.

I thought I recognized that name from BLBC! Great stuff! Can't wait to see them out!

acheela Jun 24, 2013 08:32 PM

You and me both!! My first clutch to hatch will be all reds, then this one, and I still have the whitesided female bred to the snow male that should throw some interesting stuff. I also got that little hypo female last year, she's getting cooler looking with every shed... has a lot of light peachy color to her. These bulls are entirely too much fun.

acheela Jun 24, 2013 08:27 PM

Ooooo!! That's what I want to hear!! The bananas haven't been produced yet by anyone else as far as we know right? The eggs all look great! I can hardly wait.

Jason Nelson Jun 24, 2013 08:30 PM

I don't think anyone has yet. I didn't breed mine this year. Can't to see what you produce, good luck.

Jason

acheela Jun 24, 2013 08:34 PM

Thanks Jason!! I'm really excited about the babies... wish I could peek inside. LOL

acheela Jun 24, 2013 08:38 PM

Jason, if you produce any more of those killer yellow hypos like you had last year, sign my up for one!! DIBS DIBS DIBS!!!
