My 2015 Holdbacks!

This year's holdbacks are some of my favorite yet. I had almost a dozen snakes prove carriers of hidden hets. I love looking over my snakes on a daily basis and just wanted to share.

All the snakes have only undergone a single post-hatch shed.

Here's my first ever female lava butter.

A very sleek male motley zombie.

Lots of firsts for my breeding production, as here's the first peppermint motley hatched here; and a zombie to boot!

I was hoping for a single sunkissed kastanie, but was fortunate to be left with two females from the clutch.

Last year the same pairing produced the non-tessera version of this snake. Here's the best this pairing can create; a male strawberry ultramel anery tessera.

Both of these male honey motleys are 66% amel cinder. I'd love to see peppermint laid down atop the honey motley foundation.

Put on your sunglasses everyone! This striped lavamel glows.

A male sunkissed tessera het lava.

More to come...
 
...here's some more...

...more hatchling holdbacks...


My female sunkissed tessera het lava.

I'm absolutely stunned by the next two plasma tessera. Both are 66% anery 50% charcoal hypo. The F2s are what I'm really excited to see.

This is the first moonstone tessera I've seen. I'm sure someone has produced them before, but I'd never seen a picture of one. Unique-looking snake.

This young man is one of my favorite new corns. I wonder how pink this strawberry avalanche will wind up.

I haven't seen this morph for quite a few years. It's always nice to unearth some older morphs. The adult strawberry anery motleys I had years ago had very little pink on them. It appears we'll see in a few years if this little man follows suite.

I held back a reverse-trio dilute anery het sunkissed stripe. This is such a unique morph.

Here's a delightful pair of saffron motleys 50% hypo. The male is pictured first.

I've been looking forward to this clutch so much all season. The sire proved het for a few genes, motley being one of them, so I got lucky and have a strawberry motley het amel anery 50% blood.

...even more to come...
 
...more snakes!

...round three.


Here's half of the pieces necessary for the F2 generation to yield a striped lemon. Even though amber motleys are commonplace, not all of them are het amel stripe sunkissed.

I was using het stargazer parents to produce a few tester gazers, but from six eggs not a single stargazer. However, four shatters 66% stargazer did hatch out.

Here's a charcoal motley het blood stripe 50% amel.

Of the three lava sunkisseds that hatched, two were kinked. Ugh. This one has a pretty good kink about 2/3rds down the body.
LavaSunkissed_zpsiulghuji.jpg



I love this colorful hypo plasma. He's got a lot of hets, and while that's awesome, I'm just keeping him to see how he matures.

Okay, I'm sneaking in a 2014! Here's my favorite lava I've seen in a very long time. The lava male is het cinder stripe. That silver background and the bright red just drowns you with contrast. I think as an adult he's going to be stellar.
Lava_zpsjuthtriu.jpg



I kept 2.4 sunkissed het caramel strawberry. The F2s may look no different than a lemon in the end, but I think the color of the yellow will be so much more colorful. A strawberry honey would be lovely.

It's important to keep a healthy breeding stock of strawberry anery bloods around. This little girl is a beaut.
StrawberryAneryBlood_zpssigf9bhc.jpg



This is gonna be bright as an adult; a strawberry snow.

...more in a few days.
 
I've got two that look like the reverse trio dilute anery het sunkissed stripe ( didn't know that's what they are called . I'm quite new to this) I've noticed mine has got red on its cheeks and it wasn't there before and yellow going up the sides and the other also has the red but no yellow ( brother and sister from same clutch) is this " normal"

They're gorgeous! Clearly you need a bansidhe or two to test out those lovely plasma tessera. :p
 
Beautiful little babies, that 2014 lava is to die for [emoji2] definitely a gene I need to add to my collection on the future
