Snakes have started to pip! Thank God, because at day 68 or so I was beginning to lose my mind.
Here's a few quick pics of some clutches and their newly emerged piplings.
The first snake out this year was this sunkissed het lava.
The sunkissed above was soon followed by his sibling sunkissed lava! Damn, they're bright.
Here's a pile of caramel and caramel motley. It was a clutch that leaves me thinking the topaz I bred to a striped butter is not het amel.
I think the best part of breeding corn snakes are the unknown hets. The sire I used for this clutch is a lava het amel caramel. I paired him with a caramel het lava ph amel. Well, she proved out to be het amel, and I think the first snake out was a lava butter to boot!
How does a sunkissed lava tessera sound? Well, these F1s are the first step to that goal. This clutch of nine yielded a pair of sunkissed tessera het lava. In three short years I should hit that goal...and best part is some of the tessera from that future clutch should be homozygous tessera too.
I think striped ambers are gorgeous, and four of the twelve from this clutch are just that morph. The other eight are striped caramel. All twelve hatchlings are het amel too.
Ever since Mr. Roylance produce a striped lemon last year I had to figure a way to outdo his accomplishment (in all friendly fun of course!), and the keepers from this clutch could do it. The emerged snake is an amber motley het amel sunkissed stripe. I have another of the same morph that just emerged and the two make a pair. Soooooo, in a few years I could hit the 1/64 jackpot and produce an amel striped lemon (of course if this was Steve's future pairing...all of the hatchlings would hit the 1/64 mark....really!).
Last year was the first year I produced any sort of charcoal morph, and this year marks my first phantom. Here's a few charcoals and their phantom sibling.
My female sunkissed anery was paired with a striped dilute anery to test if she is het dilute motley. Well, she's het dilute, but not motley. That's okay, the 1.2 dilute anerys that hatched from this clutch are all het sunkissed stripe. That'll be a cool morph. The anery dilute's snout is poking out of the egg below it's anery sib.
This might be my favorite morph of the year. Here's a male strawberry avalanche. My strawberry line comes from Chuck and Connie, so it's legit. The sire to this clutch is so gorgeous, I can't wait to see how this guy colors up!
More to come soon....
