Fri, 15 Aug 2008 14:37:29 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en The first albino clutch hatched over the last couple of days. The final count was 1.2 albinos and 1.1 100% hets.  I was pleased with both the count and the sex ratio. Only one clutch left in the incubator now, the other albino clutch which won't be hatching until next month. http://blog.arbreptiles.com/2008/08/15/albino-clutch-hatched/ I will be vending at the Raleigh herp show the weekend of August 30th. This will be the first show I've had a table at since I quit doing them in 1999. I figured I'd give it a  try and see how it goes. Shows are a hassle to do, but with ... http://blog.arbreptiles.com/2008/08/05/raleigh-nc-herp-show/ A second clutch of albinos was laid on July 27th. This clutch is from an albino to het albino breeding, and there were 7 eggs. The albino clutch laid earlier is starting to collapse and I'm expecting them to hatch sometime around August 17th. Two spider clutches have hatched. I didn't get ... http://blog.arbreptiles.com/2008/08/05/another-albino-clutch-and-spiders-hatching/ A small clutch of three eggs from a pastel and a young female hatched this morning. There were two normals and one nice looking pastel male. The father is a NERD Lemon pastel and this is the first clutch he has produced. I'm pleased so far with the look of the ... http://blog.arbreptiles.com/2008/06/25/pastel-clutch-hatching/ The het albino female I have been waiting on finally laid last night. Better than her last clutch which she didn't lay until August. She was bred to an albino male, so I'm hoping for some really good odds on this one. Hopefully two, or dare I hope three, albinos and ... http://blog.arbreptiles.com/2008/06/17/albino-clutch/ Two clutches hatched last week, the jungle carpets and a ball python spider clutch. Most of the jungle carpet clutch was infertile. An unproven male was the father, so it may have been due to it being his first season. Four hatchlings were produced. The spider clutch had somewhat poor odds. Two ... http://blog.arbreptiles.com/2008/06/13/eggs-hatching-and-new-last-word-article/ I'm still waiting on at least two more ball python clutches. One albino clutch and one spider clutch. There may be more, but I'm sure of these two. The bredli were also seen copulating the last couple of weeks, so it's quite possible I'll see a clutch from them as well. I ... http://blog.arbreptiles.com/2008/05/19/still-waiting/ This clutch was laid last night and is the first of the potential spider clutches this year. It was a small clutch of three very large eggs. I'm still waiting on at least two more clutches, an albino clutch and another spider. The het clown female has been hanging out on ... http://blog.arbreptiles.com/2008/04/22/third-ball-python-clutch/ Another ball clutch was laid last night. This clutch is the product of a 50% het genetic stripe female bred to two 50% het g-stripe males. While I don't have huge hopes of hatching a genetic stripe from this clutch, the possibility does exist. We'll keep our fingers crossed. http://blog.arbreptiles.com/2008/04/16/second-ball-python-clutch-of-the-season/ Well, the female I mentioned thinking was gravid yesterday was apparently very gravid because I caught her laying a little while later. She laid 12 good eggs, one slug, and one that might be a slug, it doesn't look exactly right. I'm pleased with 12 though, I've always had fun with the ... http://blog.arbreptiles.com/2008/04/12/jungle-carpet-eggs-cooking/
