Last week I got a little incubator for $50 and just last night my roommate's exwife told me she's selling her 20+ tub baby rack for $40. I plan on breeding GI Jane to Merlin this season as part one of a two generation breeding project to prove her Desert Camo morph. Macklot's can lay 20+ eggs in a clutch and the timing of this rack doesn't get any better. Life is good.

These pics were taken of the lucky couple today. As you can see, Merlin is a Normal 3 yr old male and he will be bred with Jane who is Desert Camo. If this trait is recessive, the babies will all look like Merlin for F1 . If its Codom, some of the babies will look like Jane but even then, it will take a few years for them to develop those colors because apparantly Jane has been changing into her current colors the last couple of years. This is going to be interesting.

Thanks guys. My new rack is coming next week as well. Shortly after moving my bigger snakes in there, I will gradually cool them down to for a month and then slowly warm them back up. At that time, I will put Merlin in Jane's tub and let them have at it.
