I was away for a week when my wife called me on the cell while on my way home to tell me that there is a surprise waiting for me in the incubator when I get home.

The mother is the same amel I paired with a friend's Lavender. I paired her with my snow corn to produce this little screamer. I suspected that she was het for snow but wasn't sure. Well I'm sure now! Shed laid a small clutch of 8 eggs for her second clutch and of the 8 at least two so far are snows.
Thanks for looking,
Trevor

What a beautiful baby!! It is always so much fun to hatch out something unexpected (or hoped for). Lovely little one - the mom is a very pretty amel too - bet you have lots of lovely amel babies - more pics!

edit - speaking of pics - any more shots of that clutch you had from your hypo motley male - still hoping for some comparison shots between the normal and hypos from that group - was a neat pairing and was hoping to see how the hypos are growing up - thanks,

Well after I posted this I looked into the incubator and this is what I saw,

Not bad for 8 eggs!
As for the other clutch Mary they are all gone. I kept the brightest one for my self but I think that in the end there were no hypos. I'll post a pic when I can so you can see for your self. I sent a few pics off to Simon and he thought that they were all normals.
Cheers,
Trevor

Aren't they great? Some days I want to sell them all to make room and free up some time for my other more "profitable" *coughs* projects and other days it's all the other stuff I want to sell and just work with corns because they are so much fun.

Same with me! :D

I'm getting a bunch more this year and I keep thinking "What am I doing THAT for?" But I enjoy working with them and THAT'S all that matters to me. :)

1.0 Motley het hypo
0.1 Anery Motley het hypo
1.1 Snow
1.1 Amel
1.1 Ghost
1.1 Anery Het for Opal
I think that's it. lol Denpends what pops out of the next clutch.

Well the Gods of odds have smilled upon me in a pretty big way.
Out of 8 eggs 4 are snow! Two are out and two are still in their eggs.

The final count is in. 5 snows and 3 amels. I'm happy with those odds but I just hope I can pull a 1.1 amel out of it.
Thanks guys,
