the really yellow one in the first pair is the sunkissed silver queen,right? it's amazing!

Hi valerie, The sunkissed silver queen is in post #15 and is the snake in the back.
The one in the front is my sunkissed anery, Nigel.

Thanks though! They're awesome morphs.

Congratulations on the first clutch! Here's hoping for more soon. The females surely wouldn't have mated if they weren't still in the frame for fertile eggs? Fingers crossed for you.

oh wow-I didn't know sunkissed aneries got that yellow as they got older-I've only seen the babies-so cool

oh-oops-that was the post I meant --first pair on second page of comments lol,I see a yellow snake in the first pair on the first page too--sorry I was tired last night when I wrote that LOL

That's what I assume too but oddly enough, they did this to me last year too.
Most of my females were bred around the same time but some laid only after a few weeks while I had a few who waited almost 3 months to lay, and all of the eggs were good and hatched!!!! I don't get why they do this sometimes.

I think the females have the ability to comfortably retain the sperm for a small length of time, if they don't think laying conditions are perfect for them or for whatever other reasons they have.

It's weird.

They are different, that's for sure.
From what I've seen, the first year or so they look like a normal anery in conjunction with a hypo affect then they start to OMG YELLOW. LoL. Like crazy yellow. I think it might have something to do with sunkissed retaining more melanin than other morphs when paired with anery.

Sweet pairings! Congrats on the eggs! Hope there are more to follow.

 

[Tara80]

Thank you sir!
I did put together another 6 or so pairs and just didn't get around to taking pics. If they do lay and I did catch them in time, I'll have to add those too.

Gorgeous snakes and great pairings. I can't wait to see what beautiful hatchlings you'll have.

 

[Tara80]

Thanks Joanna!

Well so far:

I've got 5 eggs from the strawberry and only 2 or 3 of them look good.

13 eggs from the striped tessera x honey. (13 seems to be the magic number)

13 from the sunkissed anery x sunkissed silver queen.

9 from my amel mot girl x honey

5 from my lava male (can be seen in the for sale section) x anery dilute bloodred mot and only 2 look good (maybe).

and a good clump that I didn't want to count (but looks like 13 again) from my favorite charcoal x dark sunkissed male. (outcrossing the dark sunkissed gene to try for better luck with healthy hatchlings).

A few others look ready to explode but surprisingly still haven't laid.

Cool, can't wait to see some babies.

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!!)

If anything comes of this pairing I would be interested in 1 or 2 from here as well
