There were 14 total in his clutch with Rhiannon, 2 duds, 12 eggs that went nearly full term. One was DIE but fully formed and a Classic Tessera. One baby, Pipsqueak, failed to absorb it's yolk, ate great 6 or 7 times, refused once, ate next time, regurged a day later and died the day after, which really sucked. I'd been braced for him not to make it for awhile after he'd hatched and was just starting to think he was pretty much out of the woods. Ended up with 2 males and 9 females from this clutch. Currently there are only 10 living babies but they are all very healthy, so happy about that!
The pairing with Fiona didn't produce anything, though he tried pretty hard with her.
After this clutch hatched and there was a good possibility that he was a Super, I tried pairing him with Stormy, who I wasn't originally going to breed this year. But they had no interest in each other. I then paired Stormy with Vash, who she successfully mated with last year and there was no interest there either, so think we just missed the timing for her.
Max really got around this year, poor tapped out boy! I then loaned him out to a breeder friend we'd done a loan with before and he paired him with two of his females, for their second clutches of the year, I guess these girls are pretty good double clutchers. However, he was apparently a very lazy bum that was only interested in eating while there. They both laid clutches but they were mostly duds with only a few good ones between them. So guess we shall have to see what hatches out of them. I'd have been happier if it had been those two girl's first clutch of the season, since the second clutches might be retained sperm and that will contaminate our results a bit unless every one of the few good eggs hatches Tessera, unfortunately it won't be obvious which is the sire if they are not Tessera.
