Completed ’17 breeding season. Only six out of fourteen girls laid this season (37 eggs) so definitely off-year. Still I’ve been very fortunate and made so many awesome animals, cannot complain. Given the low production, I missed on all my key targets, yet produced some nice animals for resale. Little lite on pics …
LAVENDAR-ALBINO Het DREAMSICLE x DOUBLE Het DREAMSICLE
BUTTERPIN x BUTTER-DADDY “BEE”
Another new pairing, proven Butterpin again with the unique Butter-Daddy BEE. First clutch of the season, laid -11- healthy eggs on Apr-03 and subsequently hatched on Jun-02. Produced my first Butter-daddy Spinner (female) and 2.0 BEL, 1.1 Butter-Daddy, 1.1 Butter, 1.0 Butterpin, 0.1 Spinner & 0.1 “white” spider.
BLACKHEAD-YELLOWBELLY x BLACKHEAD-PASTEL
No luck here, believe the Blackhead-Yellowbelly just wasn’t ready.
FIREBEE x BLACKHEAD-PASTEL
Firebee surprisingly did not go, likely needed a year off.
KILLERBEE Het AXANTHIC x AXANTHIC-PASTEL (SK)
Good success past two years making Axanthic Killerbees. She laid -7- healthy eggs on Apr-19, subsequently hatched six on Jun-18. Missed this year on the Axanthic Killerbee, but produced 0.1 Killerbee Het, 2.2 Super Pastel Hets & 1.0 Axanthic Super Pastel.
BUTTER DADDY #1 x BUTTER DADDY “BEE”
My original BD female laid three healthy eggs, 0.1 Butter Daddy, 0.1 Butterbee & 1.0 Butter.
CALICO-PASTEL x BLACKHEAD-YELLOWBELLY Het Ghost
Repeat pairing from last season, created several really cool animals, including a BH-Quad. On May-10 she dropped -5- healthy eggs, and subsequently hatched all on Jun-10. Produced 0.1 Blackhead-Calico-Pastel-YB, 0.2 Blackhead-Calico-YB, 0.1 Pastel-YB & a very bright 1.0 Blackhead-Pastel.
BEL GHOST x BLACKHEAD-YELLOWBELLY Het GHOST
Another miss … was hoping to make another Blackhead Ghost, next year
BEL (Paradox) x BUTTER-DADDY “BEE”
And another miss … multiple locks but not meant to be.
MOJAVE-YELLOWBELLY Het GHOST x BLACKHEAD-PASTEL
Nothing here either
IVORY x BLACKHEAD-PASTEL
… nothing here either, yet multiple locks
CALICO x BLACKHEAD-YELLOWBELLY Het Ghost
Calico girl has been consistent breeder. On May-09, she dropped -5- large & healthy eggs, and subsquently hatched all five on Jul-08. Couple nice Blackheads.
