Pastel Lesser and Pastel Butter goodness

So apparently I had a good plan for the Super Pastel Lesser and the Pastel Butter Spider.

I bred them to things.

And here is what I got!

This here is the Super Pastel Lesser to Normal clutch.

I haven't sexed them yet, but we got:

4 Pastel Lessers, 1 Lesser, and 4 Pastels.

Not too shabby...

And here we have the Pastel Butter Spider to Pastel clutch. This hatched out this weekend as well.

1.0 Super Pastel Butter Spider, 2 Butter Spiders, 3 Killerbees, 1 Super Pastel, 1 Pastel Butter, and 1 Pastel. 

This guy is my Super Pastel Butter Spider. I did sex him, and he is a He.

I'm not sure what that means for me... but it's good to know, eh?

So there you go! Lots of Butters and Lessers and Mojaves and stuff this year. It's gunna be a fun one!

Have a great day, my friends!

It has Begun

Yes, I have been slacking.

But on the pre-couple-o-monthiversary of my wedding, I found two clutches of eggs to celebrate the day with!

The first one I found was this gal, a virgin Pastel that I have had for several years. She never bred for me until this year, and I'm kind of disappointed in the results.

She is being a very good mother, of course. So much so that when she was gravid, I didn't really want to bother her, so left her to her own devices in terms of shedding.. Eeewww.

Anyway, she got a good bath after I took her off of the eggs, but much to my dismay, here were the results.

She was bred to a Pastel Butter Spider.

Three good eggs, three slugs. Could be better, could have been worse.

I will take it.

And then I found this gal...

This is my Albino het TSK Axanthic female. I gave her a year off last year, and I'm very glad I did! She gave me three eggs last time I bred her. 

And this time?

SEVEN!

She was bred to the Spider het TSK Axanthic ph Albino, so I really hope that he proves to be Het Albino this year.

Last year was a crap shoot.

This year, we will find out for real.


So with that, I bid you a good season if it has started for you already.

We shall be back tomorrow to discuss!

Have a great day, my friends!

Fun with Photos!

I know I mentioned this before briefly, but I am participating in a Calendar for charity that the theme is "Heels for Herps"

I love it! 

So of course, for charity sake, I had my friend Lewie come over and take some photos of my heels and my Balls!

We have many different shoots, so I am showing you the ones that didn't quite make the cut. Every month is another female herper with her animals and her heels. It's a great idea, and this year is going to be awesome!

Here is the link for Last Years Calendar. 

Make sure to check back in about this in November, when I believe the next years Calendar will be available. Of course, if you are interested, I will remind you on the blog. 

(Even if you aren't, I'll probably still do it. I'm all about helping charities!)

That there is the Super Pastel Lesser being shy..

Do you love it? I had a lot of fun with this, although some snakes were less interested in participating, and as we snake owners well know, getting a snake to cooperate is sometimes impossible.

Also, I had some photos taken of the collection for those that were not in shed and that were ready and willing, so not everyone (if you couldn't tell) got their picture taken. 

Here are a few that I liked a lot that did. Of course, they are uploaded on the collection page.

Pastel Butter Spider

I am going to get a better camera by the end of the month, and I plan on learning how to take some more classy photos. It's going to be a good time! 

Especially considering all of the pretty critters I have to pick from... 

But I gotta do the things I promised first. Hopefully tomorrow night I can get some good photos. Fingers crossed for legitimate blog topics with applicable photos.

Have a great day, my friends!
