Late start for me 2013

[Tara80]

I didn't think I was going to do any pairings this year due to long work hours; but then our wonderful upper government management.... DIDN'T take action.

We've had quite a bit of work cut, no overtime allowed AND we are probably going to be furloughed.

With all of the extra time, I decided to attempt to fulfill as many of my original breeding plans as the snakes would allow (figuring that I'm probably missing most of the female's ovulation cycles by now).

I've been lucky though and have had a few hook-ups!

Here's what I've got so far:

Honey x a (dark) Cinder (really looking forward to these F2s)

Buckskin Okeetee x Buckskin Okeetee (the female was shy, so I couldn't open the top)

Micro Scale/Micro Pave het amel x Snow Stripe

Neon/Coral Snow x Strawberry ph amel (hopefully we'll get red on red babies from this)

and Honey x Striped Tessera

I should note, the honey is directly from Charles Pritzel and is not a stargazing carrier.
I'm hoping I'll be able to have a few more to follow

congrats on your hookups & good luck

 

[Tara80]

TY! It might be too late for viable eggs, but I can always try!

Congrats Tara! Those Honey projects are definitely good ones!

That is really a beautiful honey! And your microscale project is exciting! Good luck and keep us posted!

 

[Tara80]

Thanks Jarrett!
Honey is one of my most favorite morphs. I love how bright they become as they age.
I think honey tessera will be an amazing combo, if the black on the borders stays.

That is really a beautiful honey! And your microscale project is exciting! Good luck and keep us posted!

Thanks! Definitely will. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that some of the females are still ovulating.

OoOoOo exciting projects. My fingers crossed that you get pearly whites

Lots of snakes are running late this year- I bet you have plenty of fertile clutches!

 

[Tara80]

Thank you!
I sure hope so Nanci. I'm surprised the females are being so receptive; I'm hoping it's a good sign.

I've been putting pairs together since January, and they only started mating last week.

Congrats!!!!!!

I just hope Someone or something tells my girls it's time to get going!!!!

Big congrats on the pairings, is still early in the season. Some great looking animals.

 

[Tara80]

Thanks guys!

 

[Tara80]

For those of you who like those sunkissed ghosts!!!

These guys have hooked up twice!! (picture after the deed was done)

Sunkissed Anery (het hypo) x Sunkissed Silver Queen

He had some really nice babies last year, so we'll see how this goes.

 

[Tara80]

The male of this pair attempted so many times to hook-up and I left them alone for a while as he was having troubles.
He's only a few months shy of 2 years old but was showing interest in his tub so figured I'd give him a chance.

The female is an Ultramel Sunkissed.

The male is a hypo butter het diffused sunkissed

(if you couldn't tell, sunkissed projects are my favorite!!)

Good luck with those pairings! Nice Cinder btw...��

 

[Tara80]

Thanks! She IS an amazing one. Can't thank you enough

 

[Tara80]

Oddly enough, my sunkissed ghost x sunkissed anery pair laid the first eggs.

13 pearly whites from these two!

 

[MysticExotics]

Congrats on the eggs! I cannot wait to see if you get babies from the Honey X Dark Cinder pairing!!
