Another mystery…
August 21st, 2010 by ChrisClutch 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!
Paradoxical
August 14th, 2010 by ConnieLook 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,
Kingpin eye candy!
August 10th, 2010 by ChrisGood luck with the bad…
August 3rd, 2010 by ChrisClutch 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!
Lunch time surprise…
July 22nd, 2010 by ChrisSo 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.
What’s yellow, white, and eggs all over?
July 20th, 2010 by ChrisAlbino 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.
Clutch number 8 is in the bag…
July 19th, 2010 by ChrisOur 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.
Here come the enchis!
July 12th, 2010 by ChrisBack from camping…
July 10th, 2010 by Chrisand clutch number 2 has started pipping!
Possible goodness…
June 23rd, 2010 by ChrisClutch number six is cooking! Here's hoping for some enchi's out of this het hypo girl.
More eggs!
June 19th, 2010 by ChrisClutch number five is out of the snake and into the incubator! This will be another clutch of lessers, but maybe with a twist?
Bad omens…
June 10th, 2010 by ChrisClutch 4 is on the ground... gonna have to watch my fingers when these ones hatch!
