Spirit Serpents 2018 breeding plans
 

I'll try to get pictures up in a week or so, but I want to have this written down.
Most of my breeding this year is attempting to prove out genetics. If I'm lucky, I'll be drowning in charcoals and charcoal-based morphs with hets. If I'm unlucky, well, I'll still have fun genetics.

#1- Gabrielle (charcoal het diffused, 50% hypo, amel) x Gallium (Pewter 50% lavender)
Expected offspring: dark charcoals and pewters.

#2- Galena (suspected charcoal moonstone 66% hypo) x Mica (phantom motley 66% anery, dilute)
Purpose: Check Galena for homozygous charcoal, check for het hypo. Possibly prove out Mica's anery het.

Hoped for offspring: Charcoals het hypo, anery, lavender, motley. Carbons het hypo, lavender, motley. Phantoms het anery, lavender, motley. Platinums het lavender motley.

#3- Hematite (ghost lavender 66% het/homo charcoal) x Mica (phantom motley 66% anery, dilute)
Purpose: Check Hematite for either homozygous charcoal or for het. Check Mica for the anery het.

Hoped for offspring: Phantoms het anery, lavender, motley. Platinums het lavender motley. Hypos het anery, charcoal, lavender, motley. Ghosts het charcoal, lavender, motley.

#4- Nessie (anery 66% hypo, charcoal, lavender) x Mica (phantom motley 66% anery, dilute)
Purpose: Check Mica for anery, check Nessie for hypo and charcoal.

Hoped for offspring: Normals het hypo, charcoal, anery, motley. Hypos het charcoal, anery, motley. Charcoals het hypo, anery, motley. Aneries het hypo, charcoal, motley. Ghosts het charcoal motley. Phantoms het anery motley. Platinums het motley.

#5- Raka (sunkissed charcoal from gazer-free lines) x Bansidhe (possible quad- Hypo, Charcoal, Anery, Lavender)
Purpose: Check Bansidhe for homozygous charcoal.

Hoped for offspring: Charcoals het hypo, anery, lavender, sunkissed.

Gallium decided he is too young to breed, so Gabrielle has had several locks with Bansidhe at this point.

Raka is looking like a bust. She was willing to breed last month but Bansidhe wanted nothing to do with her. Now *he's* willing... but she palpates full of eggs. She was last bred in 2016. Hopefully I can get a second clutch with Bansidhe out of her.

Mica is absolutely refusing to breed with any of the females I've put him to, which is extremely frustrating. It may be all Bansidhe this year at this rate.

Good luck

Look forward to seeing the hatchlings. I love the darker colour morphs :)
