2012 magical mystery het babies hatching!

[Tula_Montage]

Since 2010 I have paired several corns expecting all normals with multi hets (awesome multi hets at that). I have sold the offspring as Magical mystery hets ie a game of pot luck with what you will hatch. Some of you may have seen the results from Punky Jen (hatching the potential platinum blood stripe) when she bred her 2010 mystery hets. So in it's 3rd year here we have the 2012 mystery het babies, with an expected gene popping up. Did not expect amels at all! These will have either 4 or 5 hets depending on phenotype.

4 out of 10 out already. The first hatched 2 days ago, still nothing else pipped I hate staggered clutches. What's the longest any of you guys have had from first one out to last one out? I think one of my clutches in 2011 was 4 days in between.

I had a fortnight from start to finish once. They were in a clump and as I use a UTH for heating, the bottom ones hatched first. All healthy, they just popped out one or two a day for a fortnight.

What a mathematical clutch! Doing everything in 2's and perfectly even. I have had 2 pippers at each time, with one amel and one normal come out each egg. Once they are out 2 more pip, and again 1 more of each morph. This is the 4th time now, hatchlings 7 and 8 have pipped just as 5 and 6 have come out and yes, it's another amel and normal on the way!

More pippie shots

I absolutely love that you can see their egg tooth!

Perfect split of 5 amels and 5 normals that hatched in 2's with one of each. Lovely little logical babies!
