Took some quick pics of the 2010 Babies from a Pastel x Cinnamon breeding. 1 Normal 1 Pastel 1 Cinnamon 1 Cinnamon Ringer. Unfortunately, I did produce a Pewter but it had to many kinks to keep. Definitly a downer but i will try again for next year. Sold the Pastel and the Normal and just got the Cinny Brothers left... Enjoy the pictures...

Day 17 Candling the Eggs...

I decided to Candle the eggs and see if i would be able to see some movements... 5 out of 6 eggs look fertile while 1 is lighting up like a lamp with no signs of veins. I cant make out the red shadow in the egg. I'm trying to be hopefully but i have already been told that it maybe nothing at all. So until the egg rots and smells, i will throw it out... Got to have HOPE, and you got to have FAITH. So i made alil video to get an idea of what I see every morning...Enjoy.

2010 Eggs !

I have been so busy lately that sometimes it feel impossible to keep up with everything... but i try. Since January this year i have been pairing my Pastel female with only my Cinnamon male...Yes, i have been daydreaming about Pewters is the reason i didn't want to introduce another male with her... At 1st i read all her signs wrong, according to date wise... Went on vacation in May and was expecting eggs for when i came back but all i got from her was a freshly shed-ed scales which put a Grey cloud over my breeding season this year, epically them being the only pairing for me. something told me that she had to be gravid. 1 she wasn't eating, 2 she wasn't losing any weight and 3 she started to reject the male so i had some thought that it maybe possible ! within a few weeks i seen the spine sign which let me know that she is gravid and just counting down the days...

Just like last year, as soon as i woke up i check on her and to see her coiled is ALWAYS the best thing to see 1st thing in the morning... After i got her coil off the eggs, there they lay 6 fertile eggs waiting to be put into the incubator... All 6 weighting at 612g, 1 smaller than the rest and 1 bigger than the rest... so 60day count down has started and i am extremely excited to see what will pip out in 50-60days...

09 HoldBack Update...

My 09 Holdbacks Females are doing great. They both have a little attitude but nothing that any newborn doesn't have... They are eating real well also, swallowing small rats with no problem... Can't wait to see these girls at breed able weight so i can prove out their clown gene. Their Father being 100% Het Clown and making these beauties 50% Het Clown... so just keeping my fingers crossed in what the outcome could be in 2yrs... (Day Dreaming) The Pastel is bright and has a glow about her, as well as the possible Het female... so excited ! Enjoy !

2010 Breeding Pair....

I have been MIA for a lil while now, been so busy with work with my crazy time schedules and I have also been Lazy... Last year has been extremely good to me in breeding, I came out with 2 clutches of a total of 12 eggs that successfully hatched out and was able to get 10 of them to great new homes... so that mean its that time this year to do it all again...! I can only do one pair due to space right now, the two I have chosen is my Female Pastel SunShyne x Male Cinnamon Brownie. So far so good, for a month now they have been locking for a whole day or two so I'm looking forward in seeing some fertile eggs in the near future...

09 HoldBacks...

Just thought i would show off my 09 HoldBacks. I am keeping one female from each clutch, one Pastel & one Normal. Really hoping that they prove out to be 50% Het Clown. Daydreamin" Clown & Pastel Clown Heads pipping out in maybe 2 years from now... Anyway here are a few pics, ENJOY...

2nd Clutch is out !

Within two days, all the BPs have came out of their eggs... really excited with this clutch. Out of 5 eggs, i got 3 pastels & 2 normals. I really want to get them sexed so i can decide of which ones to holdback for future breeding seasons... For now, ill be enjoying my beautiful new snakes... they really stand out and now i have a hell of a collection of 28 BPs. Looking forward on getting them eating, shedding and hopefully selling them to anyone interested in having a beautiful & good quality snake.

Here is a quick pic of the 3 Pastels from this Clutch ! The one on the left is much lighter and looks really nice... They all have a really busy pattern, similar to their mother...

Day 50 ! {7.25.2009}

Well i guess not everything happens in the morning for me... When I got home from work, I usally check on the snakes & incubator right away but yesterday i ate, watched alittle t.v. then i realized that i gotta check in the incubation. It really wasnt a rush for to do so because it was Day 50 and didnt think i was going to see a head sticking out its egg ! But I DID ! When i open the container 1 snake had its head out and 2nd egg had slices on it. so i decided to get my cameras, scissors and start cuting.

With this being my 2nd clutch for the year. i was alittle for ready to cut and excited to see what would be inside these eggs. i really didnt keep a close eye on SunShyne (pastel f.) this year, so im not 100% sure who the father was for this clutch. (not even Maury Povich could figure it out). i do remember puting Brownie(cinny) & Spot(het clown) in with her and seen locks from both but didnt keep them together long. guess Quickies do work...

As i was cuting, i just kept getting more & more excited from what i was seeing inside these eggs... the one with its head out already was a nice looking normal and the other egg with the slices was a really bright and nice pastel... the 3rd egg i cut, another nice pastel ! the 4th egg another beautiful pastel and the 5th egg was a shy normal that kept trying to dig back into its egg.

Day 55 ! {7.14.2009}

I think everything happens for me in the morning... I woke up this morning to find a little head pipped out of its egg ! How EXCITING ! I would compare the feeling to X-mas morning but i think this beats it by far !

From asking a couple of breeders of whether to cut or not... Suprising to me, alot of them said not to cut until the 1st one pips out...! So after i seen that little head sticking out i didnt waste no time ! I went in with a chainsaw and started cutting away...joking !

After i cut a whole at the top of the eggs, i placed the top back on and went to work... All day wondering & thinking at work, I didnt even pay attention the whole day to what anyone was saying to me... in one ear and out the other. When i finally got home that night, to find 1 of them completely out the egg, very overwhelming to see a completed project.

So now i just gotta wait for the rest to come out, shed & eat a couple of meals ! Within 2 days all of them have came out of their eggs, 2 of them were tangled up with their yolk so i had to help them get their heads out. Glad to say that they all are doing really well and have a kool patterns ! Check it out... (dont know the sexes yet, not good at popping)
