Clutch #10 – Mojave Yellowbelly X Blackhead Asphalt Enchi

Clutch #13 – ’16 Lavendar Albino P/H Dreamsicle X Enchi Yellowbelly Double Het Dreamsicle

Virgin Lavendar Albino (’16 holdback) dropped six healthy eggs on 5/6, all emerged by 7/1. Disappointing results here, the Lavendar Albino only dropped one visual so unable to prove her out Dreamsicle. (het Pied) I’ll likely give her another shot next season, and pair her with my Enchi Dreamsicle Yellowbelly male. But we did produce an Enchi Lavendar Albino 66% PH Dream female.
(0.1 Enchi Lavendar Albino 66% PH Dreamsicle, 1.0 Enchi Yellowbelly 66% PH Dreamsicle, 2.0 Enchi 66% PH Dreamsicle & 1.1 66% PH Dreamsicle)

Clutch #17 – Blackhead X Blackhead Asphalt Enchi

Veteran Blackhead girl dropped five large, healthy eggs on 5/18, scheduled to hatch 7/17. All animals emerged, produced an amazing collection of Blackheads, including two Supers. Looks like Asphalt in two, and a definite red-gene influence in one of the Supers.

Clutch #20 – Pinstripe X ACID Orange Dream Calico Pastel

Our 4800gm Pinstripe dropped a dump-truck of eggs, setting our new breeding record … “15 healthy eggs”. Nearly all hatched by 7/27. Beautiful clutch, lots of variety especially Orange Dream & we created three confirmed ACID morphs.

Clutch #21 – Spotnose Het Clown X Butter Leopard Het Clown

Spotnose dropped seven healthy eggs on 6/6, scheduled to hatch 8/5. This is our “Clown play”, last year she produced three amazing Clowns reflecting a unique geneX variation. Animals emerging … in my 15+ years of breeding these animals, this is absolutely the single, best clutch I’ve ever witnessed. Given we paired a couple of Clown hets, we produced 5/7 visual clowns, including a pair of Batman, one with Butter and three more Spotnose geneX clowns with outstanding colors. The odds God’s favored us big time on this one … !
(1.0 Butter Batman Clown, 0.1 Batman Clown, 2.1 Spotnose GeneX Clown & 1.1 Butter Spotnose)

Clutch #22 – Silver Bullet X Gray Matter

I thought our Virgin Silver Bullet was a miss this season despite multiple locks. So had her off my radar and happened to notice she dropped five eggs on 6/22. All candled healthy even though they were a bit calcified, so dusted them hard with Dr Scholl’s. Scheduled to hatch 8/21. Update 8/20, lost clutch to mold.

Clutch #23 – BEL Ghost X Blackhead Yellowbelly Het Ghost

BEL ghost dropped eight healthy eggs on 6/27, had three animals hatch by 8/24 … lost others to mold. Could be worse, still made a couple of nice Blackhead Ghost variations & a Blackhead Mojave
