Clutch 30 SURPRISE!


This Blurry girl has been in my collection for many years as a Dinker, and so far she has not proven out to be anything but really cool looking!

She has given me several clutches over the years, and this one was a surprise again because I don't even remember breeding her!
So of course, this is again a Mystery Clutch.


 This season is full of surprises. 

Yay.

This clutch hatched out, Clutch number 9, and I have to say I am surprised, but honestly relieved.
The Super Pastel Mojave is actually a FEMALE!

Guess what? Another holdback.

But guess what what?

ALL THE REST ARE MALES.

2.0 Pastel Mojaves, 3.0 Mojaves


They look fantastic, of course, so we shall see how the shedding and growing goes for the show season.

I am already in love with this girl.

YAY for finally producing a Super Pastel combo female.


Can't wait to see her when she sheds.

So for the next few days, there will be a bunch of nothing much, since there isn't anything due to hatch for another five days, and I don't see any clutches being laid anytime soon.

Lets see if I can figure out some fun topics to discuss, shall we?

Have a great day, my friends!

What makes a Blurry a Blurry?

Ah yes...

The Blurry.

I like to call it a Velvet as well.


Either way, it is a cool snake, one of my favorite not-particularly proven but still out there"morphs."

Now, why is it Blurry?

Well, here are a few photos of my gal to show you. She is a CH female I picked out back in the day, and there was a reason for it!

Blurries are defined by a few specific things.

-No Alien Heads-
-White Outlines around the pattern-
-Golden color with deep black contrast-

Now, I have seen Blurries/Velvets with some granite-y speckles, as well as a few spots here and there within the pattern, but this female is my ideal blurry, which is why she is in my collection.

This "morph" is a dinker. A Dinker is a "morph" that has yet to be proven out to be genetic, and although I have been working with this female for a while, I have yet to make something genetically Blurry.

And yes, the word Morph was in parenthesis because technically, in my own definition, it cannot be considered a Morph until it is proven genetic. Yes, this is my own definition, and I realize that there are plenty of people that may disagree.

Now I've been working with this line for a while, I have yet to breed animals together from this female back to each other. I kept several females from her clutches, and I am trying to decide what to do specifically to make something new. I have a "Het" blurry spider female that I produced, and I have her mother. I am attempting to breed this female to something Pastel and see if I can produce a Blurry Colorful something, but so far no luck.

We shall see. Plus, I know there are other people out there that are working with this particular dinker, so I'm pretty sure we will see some type of resolution out of this eventually.

So there you go.

I like them...

What about you?

Have a fantastic day, my friends!
