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....

Happy Pre-Labor Day!!

I understand a lot of people are going out of town.

Be safe!!!

It is a great thing to have a vacation.

I cannot say anything wrong with it other than now my banner printer and so forth are also taking the day off on Monday and are cutting my time pretty short for getting things ready for the show in a week.

ARGH!!!

I shouldn't complain. I waited til the last minute, kinda... Logo making, banner making, shirt making, etc. Things are not done, but it'll be alright!

We will make it work. I'm not too concerned.

(Random normal snake photo insertion to break up the tirade.. WOOHOOO)


Anyway, poss het clowns are mostly out. It has been a weird clutch. One comes out a week early and dies half out of the egg... Four others are now out at the gloriously sucky odds of 3.1, and the last one had half of itself out this morning, but would not come out. Lets hope for a girl... PLEASE.

I also have a clutch of pastels and a clutch of SOMETHING else (Mystery males) that should be hatching next week.


Come on, Luck... really... please....



Pretty please... with sugar and cherries and whipped cream on top.

Pippage...

WOOOT

There is pippage afoot!!

Poss Het Clowns from the clutch that had the early pipper.

"BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!"


"What do you want????"


"FREEEDOM!!!!!"


"Wait, what's going on???"


I need a good sex ratio on these.. COME ON FEMALES!!!

Health is important!!!

Today is a day I get to enjoy at home, somewhat.

I didn't go into work today so that I could enjoy the benefits of being scraped, poked, prodded, asked how I feel, etc.

Health is important!!!

Get your checkups!!

Clean those teeth!!!

And now, in between appointments, I can sit here and reminisce with you all.

Hooray!!!


Today, since I have time, I will try and take more photos of stuff. To be honest, I wonder when all of the photos of the same stuff start getting tedious. You guys let me know, okay?

Today is going back in time day... These are all photos I took a LONG time ago. How long, you ask? I have NO idea. At least a year or so ago.

Here are eye caps... Why did I take this pic? Just for Shits and Giggles..



One of my favorite old shots of my Spider male.. He is a clown (but not really.. He's a spider)



And my albino male hamming it up as well..

Summer is winding down, but why is it still so hot??

So here in So Cal, it is still toasty. Yesterday it was like a sweat lodge cleaning in the snake room. And yet I did it. And so did the Joel.

I don't run air conditioning in the room, as it seems pointless. The snakes are supposed to be warm, so why run air conditioning in the room??? The Joel couldn't quite grasp why WE as humans had to suffer, but that is alright. The deed is done.

The ants have also been vanquished. Sneaky bastards. They invade EVERYTHING. They were after the water in the water dishes, as it is very dry where I live.

I was actually afraid to spray any chemicals in the room in fear of health issues for the animals, so I had to spray a bit on a paper towel and wipe each part down.

Note to self: Wear gloves so as to not get bit as much by roving ants.

My hands are still stinging.



Anyway, I pulled up this photo because I don't like it. Why you ask? Well, can YOU tell what morph it is??? I think to the casual observer, they would not be able to.

It is a Mojave. One of my 07' females, and a beautiful example of the morph in PERSON. Not in photos. I have yet to be able to capture her essence in photography. Maybe my skills are lacking? Probably... Anyway, enjoy.

All I can do is sigh

Well, its Monday.

I am alive and well, and I hope you all out there are as well.

Seize the day, etc etc etc..

With coffee in hand, I will recount the past several days.

I had the poss het clown clutch pip one egg on Friday, suprisingly. And I left it in there. Saturday morning, it had passed on. Why?? I have no idea. It looked like it may have pipped prematurely, and I'm not sure exactly why. Everyone else in the clutch is still enjoying the comfort of the egg.

.... yeah.

Saturday and Sunday were uneventful. I'm having an ant issue in the snake room at the moment, and that has not been fun. Those suckers BITE.

Today after work, I am going to be their worst nightmare.

Anyway, today is Yellowbelly day. Why? Cause someone I know got lucky enough to hatch out some nice ones, and I felt it was appropriate. Congrats, you know who you are.

This is my Yellowbelly female, hatched out this year 08', and will be a great addition to the ivory, pastel combos, etc projects when she is old enough. YEAH. (Ivories are so cool...)

Freeeeeedom on Friiiiday!!!

It's Friday... WHEEW!

I am so glad for the weekend again. I feel like this week has been flying by, but I still haven't had time to relax. Its one of those things where I've been running around for so long, I can't wait to take a break. AND SLEEP IN!

Ahhhhhh....

Excitement!!!

I think there may be some egg related news soon, as the due dates on some are pretty close to approaching.

As for me and the Joel, thank you all for being so supportive and concerned. We are getting on our way to fixing things and solving the little things in our respective vehicles.

Onward Ho!

For the last photo of the week, I wanted to make it something most everyone loves.. Here they are, the PIEDS.

This is the 06' Father Pied with his 08' daughter Pied hatched out here. They are absolutely gorgeous, and I am so proud of having them.



Have a great weekend folks.. I know I'm gunna.
