The lesser paradox just had his first shed, and he looks spectacular!  Just finished adding him to the gallery, hit the image to see more of him!

Clutch bp10-5 has hatched, and it looks like we may have something of a mystery on our hands.

This little guy (yep, it's a male!) hatched out alongside three of what look like our 'normal' lessers that hatch.  He looks similar to a het red lesser, but everyone I've talked to says not quite the same.  You can bet he'll be going back to his mother as soon as he's breeding size to see if there really is something going on!

Look at this male hatchling, he pulled a fast one on us. He poked his head out as a normal, then mingled with his brethren, and picked up some lesser color.

He just didn't want to be a normal, and he is anything but that. This guy is gorgeous, and we can't wait until he has his first shed. Clutch picture of his mates at the end of the post.

Cheers,

The kingpin just had his first shed and we couldn't be happier with him!  Just got some pictures added to the gallery, just click the image to head over to it.

Clutch 3 is out!  Final tally is 1.0 kingpin, 2.0 pinstripes, 2.2 enchis, and 1.0 normal.  Gotta say I'm pretty happy with the outcome!

Now for the bad luck.  Our spider female laid her clutch last night, and it ended up being mostly slugs.  Two good eggs and nine slugs.  We'll be keeping our fingers crossed for a lesser bee or stinger bee out of one of those eggs!

So I'm on my lunch break, and I wander into the snake room to see if some of our ball pythons had shed last night.  Imagine my surprise when I turn around and see this!

We totally didn't expect any of our Sumatrans to go this year, especially our Hartwig animals as she only locked up once that we saw.  Fifteen nice big eggs, but a few looked like they might have been infertile when I candled them.  Few days in the incubator should be all it takes to find that out.

Albino eggs!  Really hoping to get some albino spiders out of this clutch, but could also end up with some enchi het albinos.  Can't say that would be a bad consolation prize!  This is clutch number nine.

Our hypo laid 6 eggs today.  She was bred to a pastel possible het. hypo at the beginning of the season, and then to our enchi for the last bit of the season.  Gotta say, I'm hoping for a male enchi het. hypo out of this clutch.  You can see the details here.

Clutch 2 is out!  Pretty happy with how they turned out too.  It's looking like we got 1.3 enchis and 1.1 normals.

and clutch number 2 has started pipping!

Clutch number six is cooking!  Here's hoping for some enchi's out of this het hypo girl.

Clutch number five is out of the snake and into the incubator!  This will be another clutch of lessers, but maybe with a twist?

Clutch 4 is on the ground... gonna have to watch my fingers when these ones hatch!
