Corns Hatching and biggest surprise of the year!!!

[Invictus]

Well, the corns started pipping yesterday!! 10 eggs, from a charcoal male bred to a Miami phase (normal female). The idea was to create some charcoal hets.

Imagine my surprise when 2 of the noses that were poking out were completely grey!!

And then this morning, I check on the first 2 out of the eggs. One beautiful normal and a charcoal!!!!!!! I had NO idea that Trinity, the proud mom, was a charcoal het!!! Now of course, I have to breed her to an Amel to see if she's het blizzard. That would make me ecstatic!

Pics later today!

Cool!

A nice surprise, for sure. :)

Pics? :p

[Simon]

Congrats on the hatchlings~!

[Bartman]

Are all corns like that now a day...just totally mixed up genetics?

[Invictus]

PICS!!!

Here's what I saw when I woke up yesterday morning. This is when I said "Hey, two of those noses look very grey...:

A nice little normal head poking out:

This was really cool.. I actually got to witness a pip right from the beginning. The egg started moving, and then:

And of course, what made me dance with excitement... is that a charcoal head I see????

Only 4 out of the egg so far, but from the looks of things, the final count is going to be 6 charcoals, 5 normals. And I still have another 11 eggs cooking from the double clutch!

Thanks for looking. :)

[Jungle Jen]

Absolutely amazing! Congrats Ken!

[Invictus]

Thanks. :)

[Jamie]

Very cool Ken, gotta love those surprises....that one charcoal doesn't realize that he is a corn and that he isn't that tough hehe

I can tell that this was really exciting for you - Too bad I know very little about Corn Morphs. Looks like I gotta crack open the Corn Manual to figure out what's so exciting! :D

Congrats though, I DO know that they look very nice...

[Oliverian]

Awesome! Good luck with the little guys. That's sure a sweet surprise eh?

What kind of moss are they on?

[Invictus]

That's sphagnum moss. They are actually on vermiculite, but I put moss over top of the eggs to keep moisture up and mold away.

[Invictus]

Well, 9 out of 10 babies are out of the egg now. The one still in its egg is also a charcoal, so the final count is 7 Charcoals, 3 normals. Not bad odds eh?? I can't wait for the other 11 to hatch now!

[vanderkm]

Grat pics - very cute little guys - neat when they are so defensive!

The odds gods really are favoring the anery morphs this year - another clutch with more than expected! Congrats on these - will be neat to see if things balance out with the next clutch,

Congrats Ken. I too just had a bunch of pleasent surprises in a clutch that just hatched. I bred a Snow male to my normal Talahasse female that was supposed to be pos het albino. Well I got regs, amels, anerys, snows, ghosts & hypos WOO HOO! One of the first ones out was a hypo so I was pretty eggcited to see the rest. First anerys & first hypos produced here (well been lots of ghosts LOL). 6 morphs from one clutch anyhow, genetics out the ying yang Heh Heh Mark

[Katt]

HOLY!! That's darn cool Mark!!!

Hypos, I haven't seen one of those in a long while.

[Batdad]

Congrats & Nice Pics

[Jeff_Favelle]

Oh man, knowing how much you LOVE anerys Ken, you must have been doing backflips man!!!

Congrats! :D

[Invictus]

I've been doing backflips and many other stunts that I didn't know I could do, Jeff! I mean, to find out my favorite girl is a good breeder is one thing... to find out she's an Anery het is another... and to get 7 out of 10 in the first clutch, MAN... I'm ecstatic!

Mark - so you'll be selling the babies as "het for damn near everything" eh? hehehe

[Jeff_Favelle]

LOL!

[CHRISANDBOIDS14]
