Day 58 @ 84.5F?!! What is UP with colubrids? Silly snakes.

My first ever Tri-colour Hondurans are hatching, which also happen to be my first ever het-albino Hondurans! Woo-hoo!

[Tim_Cranwill]

Very cool! :D

Congrats! Will there be any chance for albinos in this clutch?

Mine only have another 25 days or so... ;)

[Jeff_Favelle]

Oh, this is just the beginning ha ha!

Thanks bro!

[Jeff_Favelle]

Tim, this was an albino x tri-colour normal, so all will just be 100% hets. Next clutch (due to hatch Wednesday) was albino x albino. I have three more albino x albino clutches after that, two albino x tangerine normal, and then my pair of het spotteds that I did last year. Just over 80 Hondos for 2004, not including any double clutches.

Cheers man! 25 days seems like an ETERNITY eh?? LOL! I'm going to start a countdown just to bug you.

Fantastic Jeff. Keep the pics coming. Congrats

I've been very busy lately and have not been getting overly excited. But...i have been looking in twice a day.lol!

Hey Jeff, 58 is like 7 days earlier then average hatch time for hondos. Mine routinely go for 66-68 days @ 82f. but all average out in 65 day mark.

Please let me know if they come with a huge yolk belly or not?

Congrats on those tri-c Het-Albino...

[BoidKeeper]

Way to go Yoda!
Cheers,

Wonderful - gorgeous noses! Congrats on the first of many clutches this year! Will be watching for those albino pics,

I will let ya know man. But I guess its right on schedule because its 2.5 degrees warmer so that should translate into 5 days earlier right?

Thanks guys! These colubrids, even for a boid guy, get me so damn worked up! LOL!

[Canada_Club]

WOW, that's fantastic. I may have to start saving for an albino and some hets or a pair of hets reeeeeaaaaal soon!

You're so lucky!

[Katt]

The second pic is awesome!

[Jeff_Favelle]

Thanx! I've never seen a Tri-colour head poke out before, so its quite exciting for me!!

[Simon]

Congrats~!!

That nose photo looks great~!!

LOL....so now you're 'starting' to get into colubrids and can feel the excitement of playing with colubrid genes~~
haha
get into corns~!! LOL

[Jeff_Favelle]

Hey Marc, almost the whole clutch out now (8/10), and no huge yolk sacs or anything. Perfect in every way!

I love Tri-colours now! Woo-hoo!!

Of course, being cramped for space, they were incubating with another clutch until they pipped. AND of course, I didn't get to them before the "jumped the egg" (I always put ALL pipped eggs of ALL species in a new Rubbermaid with moist paper towel). So, low and behold, they were all entwined around an albino x albino clutch and I proceded to roll just about every egg over 3x each trying to catch the little devils, LOL!! Such is life........

Simon, I'll let you be the corn King for a few more years, heh heh.........

[MarcB]

Very nice Jeff!

Everybody loves tangerines but I am partial to tri-colors, much more variation of colors with them. Looks like you have some nice peach tri-c's in this clutch...

I will try incubating at 84 next year, I was under the impression your hatchlings would leave the egg earlier but have a bigger belly full of yolk ! Thanks for sharing...

[Stav.T]

Wow Jeff! These are gorgeous cant wait to see the albinos!

Stav

[vanderkm]

Lovely looking babies - tri-colors are great!

They are actually quite mellow if you get them soon after hatching. But a few hours later, they FLY! :D
