Clutch #3 for Breeding Season 2023/24
Laid: 5/30/24
Pairing:
1.0 Axanthic Lavender
0.1 GS Hypo
Hatch Date: 7/24/24
So this was a disappointing clutch in a multitude of ways. First and foremost I have determined that the male is a BAD breeder. This female is an amazing breeder and made me many large beautiful clutches so it’s not her at all. Furthermore, I have attempted to breed this male 3 additional times each to a different female over the years and every single clutch had issues. I will never be using this male again for breeding. The egg that is good has nice strong veins so perhaps it will make it. Time will tell.

Second clutch of 2023/24 Breeding Season!
5/19/24-Laid
Pairing:
1.0 Pastel Cryptic DG Het GS (Most Likely Sire)
1.0 Mojave DH Clown Monsoon (No visual locks)
0.1 Sentinel
I’ve been waiting for this clutch for what seems like forever. Very low chance that the Het Monsoon male is the sire but if I see Mojave then I’ll be insanely surprised.
Seven big, beautiful, healthy eggs and zero slugs. Can’t wait for these little ones to come out!
Day 55 - 7/13/24

First clutch of 2023/24 Breeding Season!
5/13/24 - Laid
Pairing:
1.0 Axanthic DH Clown Hypo
0.1 Black Pewter DH Clown Hypo
I’m not gunna lie, I though she absorbed and didn’t give much thought lol. The male had to stop breeding about 2 months in because he was not eating and loosing weight fast. So I only got like 3 locks from the two of them.
This is by far the smallest clutch I’ve ever pulled, two eggs (zero slugs) but they have strong veins so incubate till no debate!
Hope these little ones make it.
Day 55 - 7/6/24 😉

I can’t contain my pure joy!!!
Picked up this boy on Black Friday as Sunset 66% Het Hypo. Finally got the courage to send in his shed for testing and he Proved!!
Thank you so much for this amazing boy and thank you for developing the testing.
I’m so happy, this changes sooo many plans!

Locked!!!
This is the pairing I’ve been waiting for! Doesn’t look like much but this pairing is soooo powerful.
1.0 Mojave DH Monsoon Clown
0.1 Lesser Cinnamon Pastel DH Clown GS
Knowing my luck I’ll get a bunch of white snakes but that’s what Genetic Shed testing is for 🤣
Also have a bunch of other females lined up for this boy so hopefully have good news soon 🤞
🐍

Believe this too be the last (second to last maybe) clutch of the year. Tried to reduce clutches this year because of my move. Very exciting clutch though!! Even if it’s slightly disappointing 😣. Two of the eggs look infertile but I’m incubating anyway until they go bad.
1.0 Hypo Enchi Het Rainbow x
0.1 Hypo Pastel 50% Het Rainbow.
4 good eggs, 2 infertile.
Fingers crossed she proves!!

🐍

16/05/2023

To say that I’m excited for this clutch is an understatement of grand magnitude. This is the first time this girl had gone in the six years I’ve had her. I’ve been pairing her since she was three years old and this is finally her first clutch.
I wanted a clutch so bad I threw two males in with her
0.1 Albino Clown
1.0 Albino Pied
1.0 Clown Hypo Lesser Pastel
Maybe I’ll get lucky and get a split clutch 😉.
Both males locked many times with her but I’ll know the genetics of every baby regardless of the father.
8 good eggs (3 normal 5 varying levels of b**b 🤣)

🐍

Hi everyone, haven’t posted in a while but looks like 2023 season begins 😍!
So excited for this clutch, all the eggs have strong veins so can’t wait they come out. This is my first clutch where the male was produced by me so finally coming around full circle.
1.0 Chocolate Pastel Hypo Het Ultramel
X
0.1 Ultramel Het Hypo
Been putting off getting a visual Ultramel boy so hopefully I can make one 😉.

🐍

11/01/2023

It’s been a while since I posted anything but man I’m so excited. Only tested these two from the
1.0 Albino Pied x Cinnamon DH Albino Ultramel clutch and they BOTH proved 😱.
I will eventually test the rest of the clutch but for now these two are my 100% holdbacks.
0.2 Cinnamon Albino DH Pied Ultramel 😍😍😍😍

This girl 😅. She would never lock this boy for the past 3 years. The male is a proven Breeder by me. Finally I gave in and tossed a Clown Hypo Lesser Pastel and she locked immediately. So for sh*ts and giggles I throw in this boy and low and behold a lock.
So we will see what pops out.
I have 4 males I plan to throw at her
1.0. Hypo Clown Lesser Pastel
1.0 Albino Pied
1.0 Cryptic DG Pastel Het GS
1.0 Hypo Pied
I will know the genetics of every baby depending on what pops out so should be a fun whose your daddy clutch.
0.1 Albino Clown

Here is a little preview of my last clutch of the season (last couple pictures are a couple of the eggs). Does she prove for One, None, Both!? 😉 Full egg cutting video on my YouTube.

1.0 Cryptic DG Pastel Het GS x 0.1 Cinnamon Lesser Pastel 66% DH Clown GS.

Just had to share the best babies from the clutch!!
1.0 Super Pastel DG Het Hypo
0.1 Chocolate Pastel DG Het Hypo
Pairing:
1.0 Chocolate Pastel Hypo Het DG 50% Het GS x 0.1 Pastel 66% DH DG Pied (Proved Het DG!!!!)
Lost the all gene baby due to egg complications but these to are doing perfect. Only one more needs to fully shed out so will do a clutch update soon.

Clutch Update # 8….
Easily one of the saddest and bitter sweet clutches I’ve hatched so far this season.
Bitter:
All the babies came out except one, I left it alone and found it lethargic in egg yesterday afternoon. Pulled it out and found blood pooled in the egg. Seems it cut its own umbilical cord and bled out. I tried to tie off to stop the blood loss but it was too late and it passed a couple hours later. It was the all gene animal as well Super Pastel Chocolate DG Het Hypo 😞. It’s the baby in the last photo curled perfectly in the right corner…
Sweet:
Mom proved out to be Het DG. I technically produced 3/7 DG from the clutch. Now 2/6
Looks like
1.0 Super Pastel DG
0.1 Pastel Chocolate DG
Pairing:
1.0 Chocolate Pastel Hypo Het DG x 0.1 Pastel Het DG 66% Het Pied

🐍

02/08/2022

Clutch # 7 is fully out and man are they pretty. I need to send in their shed for genetic testing (Ultramel) and will hold back accordingly once I know 🥰.
1.0 Albino Pied x 0.1 Cinnamon DH Albino Ultramel
🐍

30/07/2022

Male is finally shed out and looks gorgeous!!
His oranges are incredible 😍.
1.0 Enchi Rainbow Het Hypo (Possible visual hypo)
Had to put both of them together for comparison but their names are Iris and Heimdall.

🐍

28/07/2022

I just couldn’t wait 😍.This girl took her sweet time but a few assist fed meals and finally she shed out!!1 Super Enchi Rainbow Het Hypo (possibly Visual Hypo)
