Sat, 29 Aug 2009 13:53:47 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en This morning I found the next ball clutch out of the egg. This was from breeding an albino male to a spider female. Out of 5 eggs I got 1.1 Het albino spiders and 1.2 100% het albinos. This is my first effort at making a combo morph. I almost ... http://blog.arbreptiles.com/2009/08/29/spider-x-albino-clutch-hatches/ The first albino clutch is out of the egg. This clutch was 4 eggs from an albino x het albino pairing. The final count was 2.1 albinos and 1.0 het albino. I was pleased with the odds, but would have liked an extra female. I still have another albino clutch ... http://blog.arbreptiles.com/2009/08/27/first-albino-clutch-hatched/ I came home yesterday morning to find several of the bredli had pipped. I was relieved to find them starting to hatch a few days early. I'll be leaving for Daytona on Thursday and they were actually due to hatch while I was to be gone. I really didn't like the ... http://blog.arbreptiles.com/2009/08/18/bredli-are-hatching/ Another clutch from an albino male to a het female was laid last night. I wasn't actually expecting one from her. She didn't develop the characteristic glow she usually does and she has produced the last two consecutive years so I wasn't going to be surprised if she took this year ... http://blog.arbreptiles.com/2009/07/13/another-albino-clutch/ I had two ball python clutches laid last night. One clutch of four eggs from an Albino male and a het albino female, and a clutch of five eggs from an albino male and a spider female. All eggs appear to be fertile. I'm still waiting on one or two ... http://blog.arbreptiles.com/2009/06/25/first-ball-python-clutches-of-the-year-finally/ I haven't posted an update in quite a while, I've had certain issues occupying my attention as of late. I did have a clutch of Bredli laid today. This was my most anticipated breeding of the season. I've been working at getting the conditions right for a couple of seasons and ... http://blog.arbreptiles.com/2009/06/21/bredli-eggs-in-the-incubator/ The gravid woma laid at last. She had a clutch of 8 eggs. One she had pushed out of the pile, so it may not be viable, but I have good hopes for the others at this point. I just hope I work the incubation conditions properly this time and ... http://blog.arbreptiles.com/2009/04/26/woma-eggs-cooking/ I've been going in the snake room every morning for a week anxiously checking one of the womas. I'm expecting a clutch from her any day. I tried not to get my hopes up much earlier, since I've failed to reproduce this species many more times than I've succeeded. First ... http://blog.arbreptiles.com/2009/04/19/expectant-woma/ The first clutch of the year was laid today, a clutch of Jungle Carpets. It looks to be 16 eggs total. JCP babies can be a pain to work with at first, literally. They are easy to feed and get started but are quick to bite me any time I get ... http://blog.arbreptiles.com/2009/04/18/first-clutch-of-the-season/ The breeding season is pretty much winding down. Ordinarily my colubrid season would be just beginning, but this year I sent all my colubrid breeders to a friend of mine so he could breed them. I wasn't interested in the extra work and he needed some more things to breed ... http://blog.arbreptiles.com/2009/04/02/breeding-season-progress/
