Uh, breeding season update 4-3-07
Yesterday I was checking on snakes and noticed Lucy had really settled into her nest box. I found her like the first picture. She'd laid about ten at that point. All looking good. This morning I got up to this, the second shot. She laid, after a fast count and putting into an egg box, 21 good eggs and two slugs...
 I think Murphy was out playing in the snow storm last night or something... Cause something sure went right with this pairing! So guess there will be PLENTY of Ed Okeetees this year! The pet store I sell to will love that. Anyhow...LOL! |

WOW....I am just as excited as you Russell and I can't wait to see some of the hatchlings out of that pairing. Will most definitely hold some stunner's for sure. Keep us updated as I know you will.

Those look egg-cellent! More super Okeetees are always a good thing!

That's awesome Russell! I'm glad Murphy looked the other way for this one. The first year I had any breeding plans my expectations were set very high due to inexperience.
 After that first year of breeding and reading about Murphy's many visits to other people's breeding plans I reevaluated my expectations. Now I figure out what I think is reasonable and I mark it down as a good year if I get half of what I thought.  |

4-4...
Just before work last night I found my gray rat was laying her eggs. But on the warm end of her cage, so I shut the heat off worried she'd cook her eggs. When I came home, it was a delicate procedure to pick out the eggs without the angry tempermental momma flipping out and thrashing eggs everywhere. I've got eighteen good looking eggs, two that I'm suspicious of, a big slug, and an eggbound momma... I figure now that the heat's back on again she'll pass these last few eggs in good time. She just seems too strong an animal to let a few stuck eggs stop her! So another good clutch of eggs. These eggs are fathered by my Candy Cane male. Testing for the Ultra gene. So we should have eighteen chances for something to happen. Now just what to do with eighteen hibirds when they hatch... Thanks for the compliments guys. My Amber corn has shed, and she is the one female I really wanted babies out of, as she's been bred to my Hypo Lavender male. Will be Hypos het caramel and lavender! And she sure looks loaded so I'm hopeful! So apparently Murphy went over to someone elses house...he he he  |
