Fun test clutch

[BLKfly]

So we got this breeding pair of snakes right, obviously lol. They where originally labeled as peach bloodreds a couple years ago. Then when we bought them, they were labeled peach hypo pewters (het lavender amel anery caramel)"mystery line". Well they are not, but we figured it could be fun to find out what they actually are. So far we know the male definitely has hypo, diffused, masque (het caramel amel) in his phenotype; breed him to a caramel blood (het hypo) earlier this year. Female definitely has masque (het caramel amel), but that's all we've been able to get so far. Here are the adults and some of their babies that just hatched 2 days ago. No clue what they are lol, but they are some lookers. Hopefully it will be easier when they shed.

These guys too

So far this buddy is the only one with a different masque head pattern from the rest, and has much more distinct checkers from the rest as well.

 

[BLKfly]

Would help if I put the pictures

I'm not sure I follow this very well. How are you certain they're not peach hypo pewters? What exactly were your pairings? Which babies are from which pairing?

 

[BLKfly]

The parents are the first 2 pictures. They produced these babies. There is still 6 more to hatch yet From their clutch. I don't think they both could be peach hypo pewters, because then all there offspring would at least carry diffused as a phenotype. The one baby clearly has belly checkers, so I ruled out them both being pewters. I just wanted to let people know about the caramel blood red (het hypo) earlier this year. Because all those babies were bloodred, caramel bloodred, hypo bloodred, amber bloodred. So I know he carries diffused, caramel, and hypo in his genes. He is the pinker of the 2 adults, she is more grey out of the pictures.

I hope you don't mind, I cropped the pics that Christine sent to me last night.

This is a fun clutch! Like I mentioned, I'm not much help with these ones, but I am eager to find out what everyone says.

Hopefully Rich will chime in.

 

[BLKfly]

Not at all, I hope he can too. Here's another pink one that just came out. Thanks for showing Christine that coral anery stripe btw.... Now she wants it lol. Whenever they all hatch, get sexed, and readily eat, just pick the ones you want and we'll send them up.

 

[MysticExotics]

LOL I have been told I am a bad influence once or twice

 

[MysticExotics]

That last one is pretty!

The pattern disruption on the neck of the one with the different head pattern is cool.

Here's the belly pics you sent.

 

[BLKfly]

Thanks, we can't wait until they shed.

 

[MysticExotics]

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, I'm not seeing any Caramel in the clutch.

 

[BLKfly]

Well we do have a tessera caramel stripe (het amel, diffused) we can eventually do breeding trials with.

Do any of the babies look Caramel in person?

 

[BLKfly]

Yea, 2 look like they could. Taking pictures on your phone really does them no justice. Those pink ones are like salmon snows that have a faint orange wash. You'll see when we ship them to you. That one with the checkers or what appears to be checkers looks like an amber color. I'm really curious to see what others say, because we have never dealt with masque. Let alone super masque lol I didn't even know about that.

 

[BLKfly]

We have one more to go! I really hope the one in the last picture survives, I want to keep him/her. It's very sluggish and barely will move, poor little buddy.

 

[BLKfly]

And finally!! Super Cranky baby!!! Lol

 

[BLKfly]

I do believe I was wrong, it does seem that masque puts what appears to be faint checkers; at least by the neck. Here is a picture of our bloodred hypo masque that hatched Earlier this year.
