Babies finally arriving!!

Thank you much Orlando!

I've got another 3 baby piles in the works; will have to take more pictures when I get him! ;)
 
Here's the group, all together!!
Final count is 13 baby sunkissed anery and sunkissed ghosts.
One more pick of these babies with all the little noses peaking out.

Not a single gazer; I have not had the capability to test these lines BUT as far as I know, neither lines have ever had gazer in them previously (PJ's line and Joe's).

Now out - new pictures today.

I can't believe my luck with these new ones.

I've been trying to work on the dark sunkissed line. Very few people have them, as far as I know it's only Don Soderberg and Charles Pritzel that have a few and I was fortunate enough to be able to talk Don out of one of his. ;)

That being said, I had bad luck with my dark sunkissed pairings last year. It seems that the line is more than likely very inbred and must be outcrossed to be saved. Also, they seems to have an endless appetite and some tended to not gain weight, even though they'd eat every few days. I lost many directly crossed babies last year. I have found that via outcrossing, I seem to be having MUCH better luck with healthy hatchlings.

The gene is very dominant and I'm curious if it's a different line than normal sunkisseds. They are much darker and the borders are much more pronounced/thicker and the sunkissed style of markers are much more dramatic.

ANYWAY, this picture is from a pairing between my main male dark sunkissed and a very light charcoal female that I have, who was thought to be possibly het sunkissed. From her babies that were hatched last year, I found that she is most likely Redcoat/Redfactor as well; which just plain doesn't show up on charcoal background. Many of her babies (even the normals) have a very bright red wash over them, that can only be attributed to some sort of dominant red factor.

Well, today, we just proved her out het sunkissed.
AMAZINGLY, I've got a good group of babies who I speculate to be Redcoat sunkissed - dark line.

Currently in the process of hatching out...

Babies between a Tessera motley/stripe paired with a honey (Pritzel line).

Haha, thanks Christen.

I'm going to wait for a few sheds to see if there are any I'm willing to part with.
A few of them are going to Don as a gift. So hard to tell for sure yet. I want to see how much red they will get.
Many of her babies from last year became more and more red with each shed, so I think these guys will be cool to watch.
This was definitely my Christmas for this year. This is beyond better than I expected. I did not think she would prove out to be het sunkissed.
 
I know what you mean. Some of these red factor kids you can tell that they have it but it is so hard to know what they are going to look like. I have seen some kids that I knew they had it but let them go anyway to later regret it.
 
More additions, the tessera clutch is mostly done hatching.
I don't know how I got so lucky with this clutch too!
These guys came from a mot/stripe tessera female paired to a honey. I guess I just got super lucky with him being het motley!!
Look at these amazing tessera mot/stripe babies het honey.
I'm super excited for this project.
(ps as you can see one egg went super moldy during incubation)

Thanks!
I hardly posted pictures last year due to just not having enough time, so I figured I'd make up for it this year and I know how much I love seeing other's pippy pictures.
