The survivors from my leopard motley project. Testing inheritance. Female 'Merida' a non leopard motley with a leopard motley sire to a het motley male 'Julius'. The 3 surviving babies all ate first meal. 2.1. The female and 1st male pictured show some aberrant pattern, frosting, banding, and some pinstripe.and will be staying here. The 2nd male has some lovely hurricane/ frosting and will likely be available. I am excited for this project.

JULMER241 UPDATE (Leopard Motley corn project)

TW animal death

You know as a breeder I will always share the good the bad and the ugly. I don't believe in making it all sunshine and rainbows on this page. Breeding isn't always easy.

The good- the first 2 motleys I posted (on the holdback list) are lovely and will make great additions to my Leopard motley project. Their patterns, while not fully Leopard they definitely have some influence from the grandsire.

The Bad- the third out was also a motley, but due to temperature fluctuations into high temp range during crucial stages of development has a visible kink in the top 3rd if his body. As long as he eats and grows he will be made available as a pet. I say he but not sexed yet.

The ugly- one baby was DIE but looks like he almost made it to term. And the last 2 made it out on their own, one motley one not. However they were both more severely kinked and had no forward mobility. They both were quickly culled. I don't believe in letting any animal suffer. Forward motion is important to snake life functions and they just didn't have it. Sad outcome.

But looking at the brightside, I did hit the genetic lotto. All motley but 1, which isn't bad for only having one motley parent out of 6 good eggs. Also I have 2 new babies that can end up helping me fulfill my vision for this project. I will be repeating this pairing next year with a different incubator.

2 seasons in a row with deformities in different clutches makes the first year it happened (last year) not just a fluke. Lessons learned and I can do better.

Thanks for reading.

One last check before bed and first one pipped second one out was not going to let its sibling shine alone. Not as cooperative getting a picture or 2 but we are 2 for 2 on hitting motley so far 4 eggs to go ...i am getting more and more excited for this project

Wow look at this pattern.

I knew when doing this pairing, that Julius would be the perfect boy to help with the amel leopard motley project. He is only het motley, first one out is this little stunner.

Merida is a amel motley from a leopard motley sire. While she isn't visually a leopard herself the coding is in there.

Julius is an amel het motley that throws lovely banded and partial pinstripe.

While this little baby isn't "leopard" by definition it does have some aberrant pattern towards the tail so...probably worth watching him/her grow a while as a holdback for the project.

This never gets old. X marks the spot. I almost missed it! When I looked in there this afternoon nothing looked like it was even close. Day 64

Not the outcome we hope for, but Sage the Heliconia, finally gave up her pearls. 12 in total. Only 3 TINY good eggs and 9 slugs. Not sure if she is totally done but when I palpated 2 days ago, I felt 11, so I am guessing so. Always next year. We will see what is in these little gems in 60 days...

Merida, my amel motley from Leopard sire, has laid her eggs! Last night, I palpated and felt 8. She laid 6 fertile and 2 slugs! Not bad for a first timer. This clutch is sired by Julius the amel het Motley, that has given me lovely banded and pinstripe. Perfect storm for more Leopard motley fingers crossed. I know with 6 eggs, the odds aren't with me, but hoping for some promising candidates!

About to mark these and get them in the incubator T minus 60 days...
