Blossom and Merlin ~ Pairing #3 for 2009

This is my third and final pairing for 2009, Blossom and Merlin who I purchased as Lavender het Hypos, but have every chance of being homo Hypo. Hopefully this pairing will prove one way or the other, providing I get fertile eggs that hatch, that is ;)

Hope you enjoy! :)

Finally I have my first pippy from these two, after 76 days of incubation and a nice surprise het to boot!

I believe it's an Opal, so if Blossom and Merlin turn out to be Hypo Lavenders, then that would make it a Hypo Opal! I couldn't be more pleased! *read, grinning like the cat that got the cream!* :D

Here's the first little darling, I'll post more pics when the others pip/hatch :)

Thanks Jen and Fred! :D

I can see there's going to be a keeper or two from this clutch and I said no keepers this year! Shhh don't tell Ron, he might not notice an extra couple of tubs on the rack! ;)
 
OOooooooo....how exciting! In my opinion the parents look like they definitely COULD be homo Hypos. It's going to be fun proving them! :)

And if that first one pipping is indeed Hypo Opal - WoW! What a bonus!!! :D

Congrats with this awesome cluthc!
 
Update!

A bit of sad news, the second pippy was DIE (Dead in Egg) :(

But on the brighter side, so far there are 5 hatchlings out of their eggs, the first two are Opals, the next two are Lavenders? (I think they are too dark to be Hypo Lavenders, but what do I know?) and the fifth one another Opal with a difference!!!

Here are pics of the first 4.........Hatchling #5 deserves it's own post......

Well, Sue, bless its little heart. Looks like you got yourself a pirate-of-the-seven-seas morph. ;)

Thank you both! We were thinking of Horatio Nelson for a boy! ;)

Seriously though, this little one doesn't move quite like the other hatchies either, so it may not make it, but I'll give it a fighting chance and if it does well I might put it up for adoption :)

I haven't attempted to sex any of them either as they are so tiny, the first little one I weighed quickly and got a reading of 5g!!!! I think a diet of pinky parts will be in order for some of these to start with :D

There are two more pips just chillin' in their shells and 4 eggs still to pip, so keep your fingers crossed and wish me luck, as I really want these to do well for me :)

Well,...he/she probably doesn't even realize there is a whole other half to the world,...to his right.

Well, Sue, good luck. For more healthy lavenders and opals.
