It has arrived...

Well, I promised updates on the recent clutches.

The Spiders are all out, and here is a picture of them. Four girls.



And over the weekend, the Bumblebee clutch pipped. Here is the head.



And again... It looks neon!



And here HE is out of the egg. I'm surprised at how many spots he has, but he should grow up to be a sweet looking Bumblebee. I've named him Spotty McGillicutty.



He had three spider and one pastel siblings, along with two normals.


Also, the pastel poss het clown clutch is out. No photos yet, and I forgot the sex odds, so that will be updated for tommorow.

Hope all is well with you all out there in internet land.

And we are back in business...

Sorry for the hiatus..

Things were obviously a bit stressful around here.

The car is totalled, but we are alright, so thank god for that.



LOTS OF UPDATES!!!

Anahiem was a blast.. Had SO much fun hanging out with my friends and making new ones. It was really awesome.

To those I met this weekend, I am honored that you would take the time out to introduce yourself. It is always great to put a face to the names!

To those that hung out, we gotta do it again!!! I always look forward to local shows just to see you guys.




On to the photos:

The banner



The table with "And Kyle" (I shared the table with a friend)



Someone took this while I was talking to a customer

Blue Eyed Leucistic



Pastel Pied.. Too cool



Pastel Clown (I'm working on this.. Pastel poss hets in the incubator pipping!!)




There are plenty more pics, but that is enough for now...

I got a couple of new things, but I will most likely spread it out thru out the rest of the week. I LOVE TRADES.

Well.... I'm not dead.

My poor car.

No snake updates for me today...

You've got to be kidding me....

So yeah. They are all Spiders.

4 Spiders out of 7 eggs. Not too shabby.

Let us take a step back and recall the devestating sex odds of the pastels that hatched out recently. 7 males, 1 female.

SEVEN males..

Yes.

That poor girl amidst all her brothers.



Now let us fast forward to today. Four Spiders.. not exactly what I like to see in the perfect spider as they have some spots, but they are nice.

Sex odds???

1.6

1 male, 6 females.

ALL of the spiders seem to be female.

Granted this is a preliminary popping, and I did it on my way out the door, but seriously.... The Ball Python Gods are laughing at me. They are messing with my head.

I will now be overrun with Bumblebee groups, which is fine by me!!!

This is good news!! I am pleased with the outcome, albeit a bit jaded. I may have sexed them wrong, so I'm not getting my hopes up too high.

Lets just see what happens with the Bumblebees that hatch next week...

COUNTDOWN TO ANAHIEM: Two more days... Here we go!

I lied

Well, everyone is pipping in the next clutch.

They are Spiders.

Not Enchis.

How the heck I missed that, I have no idea. (I cut, and peeped in.. got my hopes up)

Anyway, babies should be out very soon, with more photos for everyone.

I kinda hope I did get an Enchi in there, so I don't look like a complete ass, but we shall see.

Anyway, cleaning day was yesterday, everyone is clean and happy.

I am really looking forward to Fall, so at least things won't be as hot. I'm ready for reprieve.


Gearing up for the show in three days, people. Am I ready? Not quite, but I'm almost there. YEAH.

There will be lots of stories after this week is over, my friends.

Red hot

Yesterday, after the Pastel incident, I decided to get out and play.

The Joel and I went out to play Softball with a group of friends. I got to slide around and hit the ball and have fun.

But I got burned.

I feel it.

Ouch.

Other than Racoon eyes and some red shoulders, I am in good spirits.


I do not regret getting those pastels at all. They are actually pretty kick ass now that they've had time to color up. After the first shed, I'll be looking forward to seeing the colors.

But, today is a good day for another reason.

Now that I have pastels out on the ground, I can say with almost certainty that the "Pastel" I hatched out a couple of weeks ago is an Enchi.

Here is Dad.


Baby

Baby again


Why do I say this now?

Cause compared to the baby and the pastels that hatched out, there are some stark differences. AND today, I believe there to be more Enchis hatching out, so that I can make a for sure diagnosis as to the morph itself.

So today is Pre-Enchi day. Enchi day will be when these kids come out of the egg and show me what is going on.

YAY!!!

BOYS BOYS BOYS

AARRRRRRRRRRGHHHHH

So, I had a clutch of 9 eggs from light normal to faded Pastel. Here are the parents.





I was super stoked to get such a large amount of eggs!!!

So two months goes by and I see that there are 8 out of 9 eggs are pastels.

OH MY GOODNESS!!! Finally, my luck is turning around!!!

Little did I know my hopes were to be dashed.


All of them came out this morning.

EIGHT males, one female. 7.1 Pastels, 1.0 Normal





For those who don't know.. Females are much more sought after, and therefore demand more money, as well as easier to move.




I'm going to have a drink....
