Normal X Normal = Surprises!

[Tim_Cranwill]

Last year I bred two normal corns and about 50% of the clutch hatched out anery... proving both parents het anery. That was a nice surprise... :)

This year I bred the same normal female to a different normal male and what do I find this morning....

Just goes to show that with corns, Normal X Normal often brings about a few nice surprises! ;) :p

I guess my normal female is het snow! :)

Like the song says: "<i>It goes to show you never can tell...</i>"

Too bad surprises like this don't happen with my Ball Pythons! :D

Excellent!! Just have to love corns - genetic suprises are great. I am so jealous - so far behind everyone else with my breedings this year - mine are still laying eggs and everyone else has hatchlings already.

Please post more pics - these guys look great!

Never know...with all the wc balls that are sold ( many thousands are imported in Canada each year from togo & ghana ) there must be some hets for something in the batch;) Something is gonna come out someday.

Same with boas, 2-3 salmon central american make it at least here in Montreal in the wc batches each year.

Good luck with your newborns;)

There's nothing normal about corns these days. I've got two normals that are het for hypo, motley and lavender. Now that is going to be a fun clutch.
Congrats Tim,

Right on Tim!!! That's a great surprise. :) I'm hoping with all I have in me that I find out my Miami female, who I bred to my charcoal male, is het for charcoal. Or that they are both het for something even cooler. Ah, gotta love corns. :)

Mary, don't worry, Some of mine are laying still... hopefully. ;) :D

YWZ, I don't sleep in my snake room. lol :p I checked the eggs last night around midnight and none had pipped. This morning, 2 were out already and about 5 more had pipped... though I would like to sleep in my snake room! ;) lol
