The Hypo Lavender babies from PCR23 look wild. Even with the Peach gene in there somewhere, I've never seen a Hypo Lav so orange!

I'm eager to see these kids in a few more sheds.

Partycake and Ringwood's first clutch, PCR23, have all shed and been offered a first meal.

On paper these are all Hypo Lavenders but they look pretty dark and red. I don't know what the heck is going on with my Lavenders this year.

Partycake's first year breeding is a great success!

11 gorgeous marshmallow eggs and just one slug, and she's looking great, though clearly pretty tired. She's resting easy and these eggs have been added to the incubator.

Uh oh, several of the eggs from PCR23 seem to have sprung leaks.

Should I tape them up?

Sorry if you've talked about this before, but what are you breeding for this year? I just got my first corn snake and I'm curious about their genetics

Hey friend!

I've mentioned some of the clutches that were laid this year but I haven't actually announced the pairings yet, nor the anticipated outcomes.

First off, let me say that I done proper goofed this year. My plan was to have 3-4 pairings with 1-2 backups, in case a pairing didn't pan out. But then I didn't see signs of breeding activity from most of those pairs, so I added a few more backups to ensure I had 3-5 clutches. Every time a pairing didn't result in observed breeding behavior, I'd swap them out for a different pair. Then ALL of the snakes I paired ended up fertile and laying, whether or not I saw them mating or even courting. Soooo... whoops.

Here's the list of pairs for 2023 and anticipated offspring:

YR23: Yutu x Ringwood - Lavender, Hypo, and Peach combos

HC23: Hatshepsut x Carl - testing for red enhancing genes and any hets

KJA23: Kitty Junior x Aurelian - Lavender and Peach combos

LA23: Lumi x Apollo II - Ice, Hypo combos

MA23: Mayonnaise x Aurelian - Charcoal and Peach combos

BDJB23: Best Donut x James Baxter - Palmetto

BC23: Brian x Chammers - Amel, testing for hets

PE23: Pepper x Ermengarde - Red Factor, Motley/Stripe, and Anery combos

MV23: Moth x Valentine - Red Factor Strawberry Anery

PCR23: Partycake x Ringwood - Hypo Lavender and Peach combos

SG23: Sinestro x Griswold - Diffused, testing for hets

RF23: Rosepink x Frank - Red Factor, Peach, Amel, and Hypoberry combos

PSD23: Pumpkin Spice x Dextro - Diffused, testing for hets

SM23: Snikki x Meteorite - Tessera, Hypo combos

PR23: Peekaboo x Ringwood - Peach, testing for hets

Fortunately I have the space and financial resources for a big year so I'm not stretching myself too-too thin, but it's definitely not what I had intended and I'm a little worried about selling babies in a recession economy. My overall focus is towards Red Factor and Peach in combination with various melanin-reducing traits, and a better understanding of how the Peach gene works with other genes. This is a deciding year and I'll probably be rehoming a good number of my current breeders this fall or next spring depending on outcomes.

I'm not counting my snakes before they hatch, so I guess I'll channel Neil Gaiman and just tell myself to "wait and see!"
